🎓Wilson County Parents of High School Seniors—this is for you.

Please share!

As your student prepares for their next step—college, trade, military, or the workforce—this transition matters more than most people realize.

That’s why we created Thrive Send-Off 2026: From Surviving to Thriving.

This is a structured, safe, and purpose-driven experience designed to help your student leave prepared—not overwhelmed.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN AS A PARENT

✔ Guidance on communicating with your young adult
✔ Insight into what they are really facing in this next season

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

We are honored to welcome The Joseph House Foundation,
