Thrive After School Program

Thrive connects caring adults with at-risk youth through gospel-centered relationships. We partner with communities to pursue spiritual, emotional, academic, and physical wholeness through our three main programs: Thrive After School, Thrive Summer, and Mentoring.

Thrive After School is the heart of what we do. Students join us for 3 hours of programming every day when school is in session, Monday - Friday. Required daily attendance allows us to establish trust and consistency with our students. This ultimately results in a total of approximately 700 hours spent at Thrive per year by the average student.

Our students participate in Bible studies and small groups, homework-help time, one-on-one tutoring lessons, reading lessons, team + character-building activities, educational electives, outside play time, and share a healthy, home-cooked meal. 

In the Lonsdale neighborhood, we offer programs for students K - 12th grade. We accept elementary students K - 5th at all other locations. Thrive operates in the Lonsdale, Parkridge, New Hopewell, Westview and Papermill communities of Knoxville. 

Your support will directly impact the most at-risk youth in Knoxville. Thank you for your generous gift.
