One circle at a time, THRIVE will impact communities by empowering men and women returning from prison to achieve their own goals, heal relationships and THRIVE in community. Thrive’s mission is to empower adults returning from incarceration, and to revolutionize the role community members play in their lives upon reentry.  In pursuit of this mission, Thrive will disrupt cycles of incarceration, isolation, and social harm among returning citizens and within impacted communities through evidence-based restorative justice models, community development, and constituent leadership. This community-based response to the challenges of reentry will support and cultivate genuine experiences of community that are inclusive of all men and women and define people not by their criminal convictions, but by the best parts of their character.

In all of 2016, THRIVE raised over $9,000 from individuals and faith communities. As of January 10, 2017 THRIVE has already received commitments for the year of over $7,000 from individuals and faith communities. With your help we will achieve our goal to double last year's giving and empower communities to transform experiences of reentry and break cycles of incarceration.
