STRIVE is a national workforce development solution with a mission to provide pathways to life-changing careers.

We work with people facing systemic barriers to employment by providing tuition-free skills and job-readiness training, one-on-one support and lifetime career coaching.

We partner with employers, funders and community organizations to close gaps in workforce needs and help local economies thrive.  Founded in East Harlem, NY, in 1984, STRIVE has grown from its roots to now offer programs in locations across the country. 

For more than 40 years, STRIVE has been a catalyst for economic change and prosperity in underserved communities. We prepare students for careers in high-growth industries such as healthcare, construction and logistics. With a proven pathway to possible, 80% of STRIVE students graduate, 76% attain employment and 70% retain employment long-term.  

We meet individuals where they are, providing free programs tailored to adults 18+, including those impacted by the justice system. At STRIVE, there is always a path forward.
