About this organization
Mission
Strive's mission is to help people acquire the life-changing skills and attitudes needed to overcome challenging circumstances, find sustained employment, and become valuable contributors to their families, their employers, and their communities. Strive is committed to serving the hardest-to-employ, most at-risk individuals. These include the long-term unemployed, the formerly incarcerated, disconnected youth, recovering addicts, public assistance recipients, veterans, the homeless, and the working poor.
About
Strive's flagship program, Career Path, follows five pillars, which are proven to increase student's job placement and retention rates. It begins with Strive's signature job readiness workshop, Strive Start. Delivered through a work-simulated environment, this program provides the training people need to not only land a job, but build a career. Start focuses on attitude, accountability, personal responsibility, workplace ethics, professional etiquette, and interpersonal skills. Following Strive Start, students continue with occupational skills training, which follows one of several career paths aligned with local market demand and employer needs. Training results in one or more industry-recognized credentials. Throughout the program, career coaching gives each student intense, personal attention to identify and remove the obstacles that stand in the way of their success in the workplace. Following completion of Career Path, Strive provides job placement assistance for students through deep partnerships with local employers, securing jobs that are a good match for students' interests and skills and have a future for growth. All Strive students are offered lifetime services of follow-up and support. Though they may graduate and begin their careers, Strive continues to stand by all of its students. Strive also runs a parenting program for non-custodial fathers. This program includes workshops on positive parenting, healthy relationships, and economic stability. It supports fathers in reconnecting with their children and obtaining employment. Strive runs a program at Rikers Island Jail, providing pre-release classes and post-release job placement and support.
