Our Programs


Alternative Learning:

We are leaders in the areas of community education and alternative learning. Thrive currently coordinates a continuum of educational programming with a focus on foundational literacy and numeracy as well as GED preparation. We are the only organization in Newfoundland and Labrador to offer GED prep along with a testing centre. Street Reach:

Street Reach works with over 40 volunteers to offer outreach directly on the streets of downtown St. John’s, and provides a mechanism to facilitate connections between individuals supported through Street Reach and various programs and services. It is the only street-based outreach program in the City of St. Coalition Against the Sexual Exploitation of Youth:

Thrive is the sponsoring agency for CASEY, a coalition working together to address issues related to the sexual exploitation of youth. CASEY specifically focuses on creating awareness of sexual exploitation, professional development opportunities, advocating for the creation of supportive services, and ensuring a coordinated approach to addressing this issue is embraced. The Blue Door Program:

Blue Door supports individuals in their efforts to exit sex trade activities, and/or sexually exploitive situations, including sex trafficking. The program is inclusive of gender and sexual orientation, and is the only one of its kind in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and the official theme is "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change". By engaging meaningfully with people who have lived experience of mental health conditions, we can use their firsthand insights to shape policies, reduce stigma, and improve mental health systems.
If you or someone you know needs immediate help in Canada, you can call or text the 9-8-8 Su***de Crisis Helpline.
