Our Mission
Together, We Thrive is a non-partisan, community-centered nonprofit dedicated to empowering collective action for a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future for all.
But here's the truth — it doesn't just happen on its own. It takes effort. It takes commitment. And most of all, it takes all of us.
Too often, our communities feel disconnected. Voices go unheard. Opportunities that should lift people up are just out of reach. And when that happens — when people feel isolated, unseen, or unheard — we all lose something. We miss out on the chance to build something greater, together.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We are building a Community of Communities — a place where people don’t just coexist, but truly connect and uplift one another in their own capacity.
- A place where our cultures, backgrounds, and experiences don’t divide us. They bring us closer.
- A place where trust is built, voices are amplified, and opportunities are shared.
- A strong foundation to build a future where every child, every young person, every family — no matter their story — has the chance to realize their potential, to step into their greatness....and YES, to THRIVE!
For our communities:
Community-based organizations and groups often work in isolation, missing the valuable opportunities to collaborate and amplify their impact. But what if we could bring everyone together—as neighbors, as families, and as one community?
At TWT, we don’t just ask the question — we take action. We organize impactful events that foster connections, spark meaningful conversations, and strengthen our collective abilities. Our vision is to create spaces where everyone is empowered to contribute in their own way, and together, we will unlock the full potential of our diverse communities.
For the next generations:
Too often, our children face barriers that hold them back—barriers like a lack of guidance, limited opportunities for growth, and a sense of disconnection from the communities they should feel supported by. But we believe with all our hearts that when we come together, we can build a future where every child has the chance to reach their fullest potential.
By partnering with community-based organizations, offering real-world mentorship, and providing opportunities for civic engagement, we’re not just opening doors — we're unlocking a world of limitless possibilities for them. We are giving them the tools to rise, to lead, and to make a real, lasting impact on the world around them. This is how we empower our children to step into their greatness and create the future they were always meant to have.
A future that reflects our highest aspirations and the very best of who we are isn’t something we sit back and wait for — it’s something we build together.
Over the next ten years, we’re committed to expanding our reach, touching the lives of more children, more young people, more families in both the DC Metropolitan area and across the country. And we’ll do it the way real, lasting change is always made — by forming strong partnerships with those who share our values and our vision.
You can get involved in many ways - by sharing our story with family and friends, giving a little bit of your time to volunteer, donate to support our initiatives, or partnering with us to create lasting change — every action matters. Every effort counts.
