Thrive International provides transitional housing to refugee and immigrant communities and empowers refugee women and youth to thrive.

Together we THRIVE.

From surviving to thriving

From surviving to thriving

Our Mission

Thrive’s Mission is to Empower Multicultural Communities to THRIVE.

Thrive International is innovating how local communities respond to the refugee crisis in America. We have two transitional housing centers in Washington State (Spokane and Seattle) that serve refugee families while providing on-site programming and education tailored to their needs.

Compassion Has No Borders.

Last June, Thrive International management staff traveled to the border crossings in El Paso, Texas, and Juarez, Mexico, to learn about the realities migrants face on the ground.

Watch a live panel discussion about their experience.

Thrive International is innovating how local communities respond to the refugee crisis in America.

Thrive International moves refugees and immigrants from surviving to thriving by providing transitional housing and programming. Located between Spokane and Seattle, WA, Thrive Center is an example of what's possible when cities can come together with local and state governments, community partners, and faith organizations and provide local solutions to a global crisis.
