Thrive Students is a program designed to cultivate a generation of youth ages 12-18 with a deep understanding of their community, confidence in their abilities, and the skills necessary to make a difference through service.

It is intentional about connecting students to their peers and community, helping them develop the self-efficacy and 21st-century skills they need to take action, and supporting their growth as lifelong servant-leaders with the empathy and purpose necessary to excel in college, in the workforce, and in life.
