Is Thrive 365 right for you?

Thrive 365 is a career program for young adults. You explore careers, build real work skills, get paid work experience, and have a Career Navigator in your corner the whole way.

Young adults ages 18 to 24 who live in the Richmond area and want to figure out a first or next step. You’re welcome whether you’re working, between jobs, out of school, involved with the justice system, transitioning out of foster care, or raising kids of your own.

No. Thrive 365 is free to participate.

Paid work experience is part of the Thrive 365 model during Practice, subject to funding and placement availability. Details will be shared before enrollment.

Thrive 365 has three stages: Prepare, Practice, and Propel. Final scheduling and timing will be shared before applications open.

The first cohort focuses on construction and the skilled trades: HVAC, electrical, plumbing and pipefitting, construction, and carpentry.

BOTW is working toward a 2027 launch for a first proposed cohort of 15 Career Builders, subject to funding and partnership readiness. Join the interest list to receive confirmed details.

It means having one person on your side the whole way. Your Career Navigator is a BOTW staff member who gets to know your goals, works with you on a plan, lines up employers and resources, and checks in after you start your next job or training.
