Every child, from cradle to career
SIOUX FALLS THRIVE
It’s been said that all a child needs to succeed is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them. When it comes to our kids, Sioux Falls does more than help, hope, and believe. We’re dedicated to making sure all children succeed, from cradle to career. That’s the mission of Sioux Falls Thrive.
We focus on 4 critical needs for school-age children
Kid Link
Neighbors and volunteers work to close service gaps that make student achievement difficult.
Affordable Housing
Reduce by 50% the number of families with school-age children who are virtually homeless during the school year.
Out-of-School Enrichment
Reduce by 50% the number of children aged 5 to 18 left unsupervised during out-of-school time.
Food Security
Provide charitable food resources to remote neighborhoods where 20% of households receive SNAP benefits.
Kid Link: Collaborating to Benefit Kids, Families
Kid Link is bringing together many organizations and dozens of volunteers to demonstrate effective community collaboration in solving neighborhood concerns.
Hungry Kids? Thrive Leverages the Charitable Food System
It’s tough to learn when you’re hungry. Ask any classroom teacher. Hunger isn’t conducive to student success.
