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.

Out-of-School Enrichment
Reduce by 50% the number of children aged 5 to 18 left unsupervised during out-of-school time.
