STRIVE offers a path to living-wage employment for those seeking to break the cycle of poverty. Founded in East Harlem in 1984, STRIVE offers soft skills, job readiness, and hard skills training, supportive services, and a much-needed sense of hope to individuals facing significant barriers. At the same time, STRIVE helps employers overcome skills gaps, and local governments help their citizens thrive. From the outset, STRIVE International adopted a rigorous approach to job readiness that focused on the behaviors and life situation of individuals with significant challenges. Three decades later, STRIVE’s training and employment model has proven to be a highly flexible approach that works in diverse locations and cultures.
