WE'RE RAISING THE BAR.

 

MISSION

By creating a safe and welcoming community, Thrive Mighty allows individuals to showcase their personal power by focusing on discovering and developing their abilities through social gatherings, group activities, and educational opportunities. 


VALUES

Ability first
All people have abilities and should be welcomed for who they are and what they can do, first.

Inclusion
Our differences enrich each other and build our community.

Power
Every person can determine their own paths and help others find theirs.


PHILOSOPHY

We believe in an ability first world - a world where people are seen for who they are, and what they can do, first. Their value is inherent as a human, never dependent upon external validation. 

We believe the need to belong - and contribute - to a community is part of human nature, as visceral as breathing. 

It is our conditioned, external, frames that lead us to believe differences divide - rather, diversity strengthens us. We see differences as simply another part of life - not a negative to be hidden or scared of, or a positive to be held up as an example. We aren’t tokens - or inspirations - we are simply different. 

We are all humans, with abilities, first.

We use wellness to connect on the deepest level possible, and high expectation to raise the bar for humanity and acceptance. The Thrive Mighty community leads the way for those bold enough to follow.

We’re raising the bar on inclusion. Join us. It's time to live in your strength.
