Young people remain an important part of STRIVE 360's mission. We continue to organize and support selected educational, STEM, entrepreneurship, career-readiness, leadership, wellness, enrichment, and community events.

Organizations, businesses, and grant recipients seeking appropriate opportunities to provide direct services, fulfill student-engagement commitments, contribute volunteer hours, or support youth and schools may contact STRIVE 360. When appropriate, we can help identify schools, educators, families, youth programs, and communities with demonstrated needs and facilitate responsible introductions.

Resources may include tutoring, mentorship, enrichment programs, behavioral and mental-health services, disability-related support, childcare, food and housing assistance, social services, public benefits, and other community programs.

We may also provide administrative help with organizing documents, understanding instructions, completing eligible nonlegal resource applications, and communicating with service providers.
