Are you interested in forming meaningful relationships with people working their way out of poverty with support from Thriving Connections staff and experienced volunteers?

Have you ever wanted to be part of a diverse group, working to find community solutions, but weren’t sure where to begin?

Thriving Connections, an initiative of the South Central Community Action Program, is a multi-generational community of diverse people cultivating intentional relationships across economic class. The TC community is a safe harbor where the focus is on achieving financial, emotional, mental, physical, social, and spiritual growth.

As a Thriving Connections Ally, you will provide friendship, encouragement, and advocacy to motivated participants working towards their personal goals. You and your group, called a Crew, consisting of one person or family working their way out of poverty, called a Captain, and at least two other Allies, will work together to accomplish specific goals set by the Captain in order to increase his or her resources.

As you walk alongside your Captain, you will provide valuable knowledge and insight relating to a variety of life circumstances, whether it is financial or educational input, or social connections and networking. You will use your own knowledge and life experiences to help make a difference in the lives of Captains. You will also learn to see poverty in a different light, dispelling stereotypes about people who live in poverty.

Come make a direct difference in the life of a family and in our community!
