Threats include potential funding shortfalls from government or philanthropic sources, as well as political agendas that prioritize other areas over workforce programs. Potential gaps include post- placement support and long-term alumni engagement to ensure upward mobility, not just initial employment. There may also be opportunities to strengthen data systems to better track impact and improve storytelling. Deepened partnerships with employers committed to inclusive hiring, specifically youth ages 18-24, as well as expanded partnerships with mental health service providers, would enhance STRIVE’s impact.
The commitment to transforming lives through opportunity and economic empowerment is most compelling. STRIVE doesn’t just prepare people for jobs, it supports individuals in redefining their identity and potential which is especially powerful for those who have been justice-involved or disconnected from traditional pathways.

Strive really excel at pushing everyone to stop doubting themselves and keep pushing through. I consider STRIVE great accomplishments are providing tools needs to be successful and ready for New beginnings of life. I love that strive is more like family. To me the fact that they want better for each participant is very unique to me.
Strive doesn’t just offer any class, they offer classes in which you will always find employment in such as healthcare. The world will always need healthcare and there is many opportunities working in the healthcare industry.
I am most passionate about how STRIVE isn’t just a program it’s more like FAMILY, most people don’t have family to support their goals or dreams but STRIVE go above and beyond to make each student feel like they matter and that anything you put your mind to you can achieve it plus more.
You would know you have achieved your goals by the more people sign up and actually complete courses.
