Thrive

Thrive connects caring adults with at-risk youth through gospel-centered relationships. As we partner with communities, we pursue spiritual, emotional, academic, and physical wholeness. We do this through our three main programs: Thrive After School, Thrive Summer, and Mentoring.

Every day that school is in session, Thrive students participate in Bible studies and small groups, homework-help time, one-on-one tutoring lessons, reading lessons, team + character-building activities, educational electives, outside play time, and share a healthy, home-cooked meal every day. At Thrive Lonsdale, we offer programs for students K - 12th grade. We have K - 5th programs at Thrive Parkridge, Thrive Papermill, and Thrive New Hopewell. Thrive Summer is a full-day, 6-week program that blends educational activities with encouragement, excitement, and fun. There is an emphasis on practicing English language skills through daily reading and writing lessons. Our summer program is built around fun weekly themes which incorporate educational activities, Gospel-centric Bible studies, and field trips. Thrive Summer is offered to students who have completed 1st - 8th grade.

Thrive offers volunteer van rides from UT Knoxville to Thrive Lonsdale on Thursday afternoons. For details, please contact us at volunteer@helpusthrive.com.
