Survive and Thrive Education is a non-profit organization devoted to empowering and enabling young people, primarily from marginalized circumstances, ages 12-24 to become productive citizens. The aim of the organization is tri-fold: 1. to help students, the majority labeled at-risk, meet the requirements for graduating high school, 2. to assist these students in achieving some post-secondary placement including but limited to the following: four-year college or university, community college, military placement, and vocational training programs, and 3. to aid young people who have entered a post-secondary institution not only stay in school but also complete their educational endeavors. The program staff attempts to intervene in circumstances that could interfere with student success. The staff also advocates for the students and their families in situations outside of the normal scope of academic situations that could also hinder student success.
The Survive and Thrive Education program consists of multiple sub-programs to meet the needs of the students. Those programs include providing resources and support outside of the academic arena that could hinder achievement. The staff has the over-arching responsibility of identifying potential barriers to graduation, developing and implementing individual intervention strategies, and working with students to develop a graduation and achievement plan to identify the best program to meet academic and post-secondary goals. The staff will provide direct student support and case management to match each student’s individual needs.
