ABOUT US
Thrive Youth Project is an initiative set up by Watford African Caribbean Association, a registered charity that has been in existence in Watford since 1976. We are dedicated to making a difference in our local community. With the assistance of our DBS checked volunteers all giving of their free time, our partners and sponsors, we strive to improve the lives of our local young people, by supporting their families to thrive.
We are currently based at Asda Community Centre, North Watford on a Monday from 18.30 hrs pm to 20.00 hrs pm. Children must be accompanied by the parent in attendance who remains responsible during the session.
Parents and guardians please register via the Join Thrive page to take part in our activities, and also gain access to our on-line events area and educational videos, so do support us when these are advertised. THANK YOU!
We are closed during the Monday Bank Holidays 2024
STRIVING TO HELP BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR ALL OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Theses are some of the activities we support/provide at Thrive Youth Project
MEDIA AND MUSIC
With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those interested in media and music. With access to the right resources, our young people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team.
SPORTS
At Thrive Youth Project we feel that physical exercise is good for the mind, body and spirit. Team sports help teach adolescents leadership skills, dedication and team spirit all necessary characteristics for adult life. Contact us to learn more about our commitment to sport and what we can currently offer.
FOOD & HEALTH
At Thrive Youth Project we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Healthy living is by no means an easy feat, but by the investment of our volunteers and the empowerment of our young people we believe we can facilitate progress in this area.
MENTORING
We feel that being able to mentor our young people is of great importance to help drive personal growth, and assist with the learning and development process. Our mentors are dedicated to this aim and we have a wealth of experience amongst the team. Do contact us for more information about our commitment to mentoring.
