About:
Thrive Collective mobilizes students, parents, artists, and community stakeholders to partner with public schools for transformational change. They function both as a matchmaker and direct service provider of arts and mentoring programs that cultivate the character and competencies necessary for students to thrive in today's world.
Our Partnership
Mobilizing Volunteers
There are many ways HFNY volunteers can serve, whether it’s connecting to a mural project (one-time community project) or going deeper by becoming a mentor or teaching artist in a school.
Creativity From Our Volunteers
HFNY volunteers are able to come alongside NYC students by helping them to find their creative voice through arts, music, and media.
Why We Love This Affiliate
We love Thrive Collective because they are helping to bring art back to the 419 public schools in low-income neighborhoods that lack art teachers, in turn empowering students to create a life worth living.
When school budgets are cut and the first things slashed are music and arts programs, we rob students of the experiences that awaken the creative imagination God hard-wired into their souls.
