Refugees Deserve More Than Shelter
They Deserve a Future

At Thrive, we open doors to safe, welcoming spaces for refugees in both Spokane and Tacoma. More than just housing, our Thrive Centers are places of healing, hope, and new beginnings. We also stand strong against anti-immigrant policiesβ€”because everyone deserves a chance to thrive.

Join us in building a more compassionate, inclusive communityβ€”where all our neighbors feel at home.

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.
