Broadening & Building
from our new President & CEO
Firstly, it has been a pleasure to be welcomed by a board of directors and staffing team that is so clearly dedicated to connecting youth art and experiential learning as a pathway to self-confidence, skill development, and success. It is a privilege to join Thrive and to have the opportunity to play a part in moving this work forward.
we're here for...
Working Together
Thrive at a Glance:
Our programs staff are truly champions of youth who provide the children and young people we serve with amazing opportunities every day to support, to challenge, to stretch and to enable young people to become the best they can be and to reach their full potential.
Community
Who We Serve
Though the landscape in Canada is beginning to look more ‘normal’, the challenges facing children and young people are far from over. The pandemic continues to have long term effects on young people’s mental health, wellbeing, confidence, educational attainment, and engagement with services.
Onward & Upward
The Rebrand
We have entered a new chapter and with the robust guidance of our strategic plan, we will continue deepening our impact, and will move forward with clarity in our mission, vision, and messaging that align with the work our teams have been doing to transform the lives of the youth we serve.

Partnerships & Beyond
Partnerships are a key value of our organisation and, in 2022, we were proud to be actively working in partnership with multiple education outlets to continue to build young people’s social-emotional, wellbeing and leadership skills.

RISE Youth Leadership Awards
Going virtual didn’t slow us down! It was a wonderful event celebrating some remarkable young leaders. Our supporter engagement and generosity blew us away.
We received so many caring and thoughtful comments and questions from supporters during and after the event. The genuine interest and passion we heard from supporter attendees made us feel that anything was possible, and that the future was very bright for the young people we serve and the organization as a whole.
