Project THRIVE pairs students with a trusted mentor who checks in every week — catching the small stuff before it becomes the big stuff, and helping kids stay on track in school and in life.
Every week, our trained mentors check in with students on attendance, academics, and well-being — using a simple traffic-light system that catches issues early.
Salem-Keizer's Multi-Tiered System of Supports organizes care into three levels of intensity. THRIVE lives at Tier 2A — early identification and relationship-based check-ins, where most students benefit most.
Referrals route through your school counselor. THRIVE never replaces a counselor — we add weekly capacity at the layer most schools can't cover alone. See the full workflow →
This is your program. A real adult to talk to, no pressure, no judgment. You own your growth — we back you up.
What's in it for you →An extra layer of care around your student — someone who notices, follows up, and loops you in when it matters.
See what to expect →THRIVE isn't another thing on your plate. It's the layer that catches what falls off it. Mentors handle the check-ins so you can focus on teaching.
See how it fits in →"You can't teach a child who is hungry, stressed, or scared. THRIVE helps stabilize the foundation so every child can learn."— The THRIVE Promise
And most go unnoticed until they become crises. THRIVE catches the early signals.
No extra time from families. No extra prep from teachers. Just a check-in that actually happens.
Nothing falls through the cracks. Families looped in. Safety concerns always escalated.
Both student and parent sign online. Takes about three minutes. Someone from the THRIVE team will be in touch within a few school days.
