Feeding The Mind
Thrive On Afterschool offers a balanced blend of enriching activities and academic interventions. Regular programming is a little different at every site, but enrichments include sports, art, music lessons, dance lessons, literacy initiatives, STEM activities, and homework help.
Feeding The Body
All Thrive Afterschool students receive free snacks and meals. Through integrated nutrition education, students learn about nutrition and enjoy tasty, nutritious meals and snacks while staying active through fun fitness challenges.
Exploring The World
Field trips are planned throughout the school year and range from experiencing the African American Rodeo, visiting the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library, and going roller skating, to cheering on the Flint City Bucks soccer team, and exploring the Flint Institute of Arts and Sloan Museum of Discovery.
Engaging The Family
Thrive Afterschool is part of a larger vision that includes the whole family. Our Community Education initiative brings kids and their families together for special 2Gen events like family game nights, family dances, Mother/Daughter teas, Donuts with Dads, and provides support services you need to ensure your family can succeed, together.
