We are a non-profit after-school and summer program for at-risk youth in Knoxville, Tennessee. Across Knoxville, we run four elementary programs in four different at-risk neighborhoods, one middle school program, and one high school program. In total, we serve approximately 220 at-risk youth daily.
Our mission: Thrive connects caring adults with at-risk youth through gospel-centered relationships. We partner with communities to pursue spiritual, emotional, academic, and physical wholeness.
Students have required attendance and we seek to meet each of their S.E.A.P. needs daily. Each day we feed them a healthy snack when they arrive and a homecooked, healthy meal before they leave. While here, they attend bible studies, receive homework help or needed additional tutoring, and participate in various planned activities.
