Meetings are now held on Mondays from 3:30 - 5:30 pm in person at the center. Thrive was formed in 1996 and our building is at 56 Barnstable Road in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Thrive is a place where young people can enjoy meetings, drop in times and special events. Here there is camaraderie and support, in a peer lead, adult advised environment, free from judgment based on inherent differences. The program is youth driven, peer led, and adult advised, offering an array of supportive services to people 22 and under who adhere to the organization's basic principles of respecting differences. Thrive is making our community safer, more respectful and less judgmental by bringing a broad diversity of young people together in an environment where everyone's dignity is appreciated. Together we realize we are not very different at all, become more open minded, well rounded and accepting of others. Youth who in turn are appreciated rather than harassed, achieve higher levels of self esteem and live happier and healthier lives.
