THRIVE Professional Development

Produced by the HRC Foundation

The THRIVE Professional Development program utilizes Welcoming Schools’ certified facilitators from across the country who have extensive experience working with and supporting youth and youth-serving professionals.

The THRIVE Professional Development program builds off the success of HRC Foundation’s Welcoming Schools Training, which is the most comprehensive, bias-based bullying prevention program in the nation to provide LGBTQ+ and gender-inclusive professional development training and resources specifically designed for Pre-K - 12 educators and youth-serving professionals.

THRIVE Professional Development is designed for youth-serving professionals who work in out-of-school youth programs.
