Access to Practical Resources
The Thrive Collective is built on connection and that includes connecting you to high quality resources. Our Core Learning Areas organize the tools, training, and knowledge most relevant to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) care, making it easier for you and your team to find what you need, when you need it. Resources include assessments, research studies, online training, workbooks, articles, blogs, and much more!
We invite you to explore the Core Learning Areas, identify what’s most relevant to your work, and dive into the content that will help you elevate care for the children and families you serve.
If you have additional resources that align with our Core Learning Areas, please contact us at [email protected].
