Creating a City Where Everyone Can Thrive
Through relational programs that develop people, create inclusive opportunities, and build flourishing communities.
Relational Work. Measurable Impact.
Our city thrives only when it’s people thrive. We believe that the most lasting change comes by marrying real outcomes with deeply relational work.
Developing People
Our city’s greatest asset and best hope is it’s people. By focusing on programs that develop character, skills, and community, we plant seeds that not only bear in the short term, but yield results that reach for generations.
Creating Opportunity
Everyone deserves the opportunity to flourish. Yet many in lower income communities aren’t presented the chance. We leverage our programs, platforms, and network to create inclusive opportunities for all to thrive.
Building Community
Alone, we fall. Together we rise. By connecting networks and creating relationships between community members, our programs build resilient and supportive communities.

Kevin's Story
After a fire forced Kevin and his family out of their apartment in 2019, home was never the same. Living with extended family, while a blessing, made it hard to find peace and a space of his own.
Thrive Housing was able to match Kevin with a new apartment, and starting Dec 1st, Kevin moved into a space he can once again call his own to rest after his work at Launch NOLA and Restoration Thrift.
With the stability of an affordable place to call home and reliable work, Kevin went on to receive his bachelor’s degree and begin studying for his Master’s from Union Baptist Seminary.
Hear From Those We Serve

Jacksons
Thrive has helped us grow and develop as leaders, businesses owners, and community members. We would not be where we are today without them.

Darren and Earlisha
When I first got involved in Thrive's programs, my family and I were struggling to get by. Now, through their CDL training and community programs, I have a new job and a strong support system for my family.

George
Thrive has wrapped their arms around me. They opened the door for work and housing, and drew me into a community where now, I feel like family.
We Believe in Building Collaborative, Trusted Partnerships
“Thrive’s approach to partnership has allowed both of our organizations to serve the community and advance our work in dramatic ways; reaching more residents, more meaningfully, and providing greater resources and support than either of us could alone. “
“When organizations partner with one another the way that Thrive does, their capacity and impact increase. Ultimately, this means that the families and communities of our city experience better outcomes. Our city needs more organizations who can partner like Thrive does.”
Mr Funder, Program Manager, Important Foundation
