Enabling Student Success
At-promise 9th grade students who face challenges in and outside the classroom join Thread and expand their social support structure while building a community where everyone can thrive. Thread commits to our young people for ten years–the remainder of high school and six years thereafter.
Empowering Volunteers
We are a diverse community of millennials and retirees, college students and PhD candidates, working professionals and empty nesters, lifelong residents and transplants, who are building relationships across lines of difference with young people.
Compelling Community Change
By developing a strong network of individuals who accept and celebrate our differences, we are equipping the community–especially our young people–with the social capital needed to improve educational, economic, and health outcomes for everyone.
Over 3,000 People.
