Encompass Opens Thrive Hive Drop-In Resource Center for Transition-Age Youth

Posted on Latest News by Encompass Community Services · November 16, 2022 9:23 PM

Earlier this month, Encompass gathered with community partners, leaders and guests to celebrate the grand opening of the Thrive Hive, Encompass’s drop-in resource center for transition-aged youth (TAY) ages 15-24!

Simply put, Encompass is a health equity organization. We believe that everyone in our community should have access to the high-quality care and resources they need and deserve to live a healthier, more fulfilling life. That is exactly why we prioritized building the Thrive Hive.

With this center, we can significantly expand the number of youth we serve and expand the services we offer to meet the unique needs of TAY individuals in our community. Most importantly, our TAY program team worked tirelessly alongside the individuals we serve to create a trusted, welcoming place for youth to come together to build community… and truly THRIVE.

The center is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of TAY individuals in our community, including those experiencing houselessness and those who are, or have been, involved in the foster care or justice systems. Most importantly, the resource center will serve as a trusted, welcoming place for youth to come together to build community.  We are honored to have worked alongside the TAY individuals we serve to identify and incorporate the following resources into our new center: 

  • Computers and flexible classroom spaces to host programming on key topics like motivational interviewing, resume-building, job readiness, applying for higher education and to conduct mock job interviews 
  • Laundry facilities and showers 
  • A cozy living room and flexible recreational space to offer health and wellness programming, such as meditation and creative expression classes 
  • A fully stocked kitchen where staff can support youth in preparing warm, healthy meals 
  • Case management services to establish rapport and trusting relationships and delivery of direct services assistance 
  • Therapeutic services, for those who qualify
