Although adult resource centers are nothing new, The Thrive project (based in rural Massachusetts) is taking another look at how these centers function, and what exactly they function for.
Thrive encourages adults to not simply live life, but enjoy and explore it, offering “a chance to live better and participate more; to thrive instead of just survive.” Along with traditional resources like computers and resume help, Thrive provides chances at internships, apprenticeships, and even space for making art. It’s local, community based, and available for adults to change their day-to-day grind into something that grinds a little less.
