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 Tacoma) that serve refugee families while providing on-site programming and education tailored to their needs.
