Mission Statement

Thrive provides integrated support to our neighbors in need so they can develop the capacity to be stable, secure, and thrive in their community. 


Program Summary

Early Childhood Program: These initiatives provide critical support to families with infants and young children. We understand that financial security begins with access to reliable and affordable childcare. That’s why we provide access to affordable childcare, which is crucial for parents to provide for their families and pursue educational opportunities.  We also offer resources such as baby boxes filled with essential supplies for infants’ health and safety. Through our Early Childhood Programs, we also provide safe sleep and car seat trainings to equip families with the tools they need to thrive and succeed. 

Community Navigator Program: The Community Navigator prioritizes individual needs and responds with tailored support. They provide short-term case management, financial counseling, guidance, and essential training to enhance clients’ earning capacity. Thrive understands that the key to empowerment is knowledge. Through the Community Navigator program, we not only provide information and referral services, but we help clients unlock new doors through workforce development initiatives which create and expand job opportunities by providing access to essential certifications and courses. By empowering and supporting individuals and families, the Community Navigator plays a crucial role in their journey towards long-term stability. 

Community Resilience Program: This program serves as a vital lifeline for individuals and families in Arlington facing severe hardships. We help families overcome immediate financial crises by providing rental, utility, and medical assistance. The Community Resilience Program also provides crucial information and referrals that are accessible to individuals and partner nonprofits.  This program ensures that neighbors in need can quickly connect to the full range of support services available in Arlington, helping them access the right resources at the right time.
