Welcome to THRIVE Gary!
The philosophy for THRIVE! Gary is a simple one: when you can help younger Gary residents develop lifetime goals and non-violent conflict resolution techniques through the restorative justice model, you significantly reduce the need for violence intervention later in their lives.
