About Us
Who we are, why STRIVE 360 exists, how we work, and the people we serve.
Creating Meaningful Opportunities Since 2008
STRIVE 360 Incorporated is an IRS-recognized nonprofit organization founded in 2008 to create meaningful opportunities for young people and underserved communities.
Our work began with direct youth development, academic enrichment, STEM exposure, career readiness, leadership development, and entrepreneurship. As the needs of the communities we serve have grown, so has our mission.
Today, STRIVE 360 supports the full network surrounding community success: young people, parents, caregivers, educators, school staff, workers, entrepreneurs, homeowners, property owners, and individuals navigating difficult institutional systems.
Empowering People and Connecting Communities
Our mission is to empower individuals, strengthen families, support educators, expand access to opportunity, and connect communities with the educational, professional, social, legal, housing, and economic resources needed to thrive.
Our Vision
We envision communities in which people have the knowledge, support, resources, relationships, and opportunities necessary to overcome barriers, protect their interests, build economic stability, and create stronger futures for themselves and the generations that follow.
Connector, Educator, Advocate, Convener
STRIVE 360 operates as a connector, educator, advocate, convener, and community-resource partner.
