Thrive by Hope
Thrive by Hope is our youth program that empowers at-risk youth & young adults experiencing homelessness by providing them with comprehensive and holistic support in education, employment, shelter, and wellness and health resources. We believe that every young person deserves a chance to achieve their full potential and overcome the challenges they face.
Our priority areas for youth we serve are young people experiencing homelessness that are part of the LGBTQ community, have juvenile justice experience, youth coming out of foster care, pregnant and parenting youth and unaccompanied minors living on the streets.
January 2022
We began serving high school students and young adults 18-24 years old with a commitment to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where our clients can access the resources, skills, and opportunities they need to thrive.
September 2023
We initiated a partnership with Gwinnett County Schools each month to identify and provide services to high school students experiencing homelessness.

We opened a drop-in center where young people can have access to case management, apply for jobs, participate in life skills classes, and continue their education online.
