Everything you need to know to enroll a participant

How Thrive Memphis Enrollment Works

Upon admission to Thrive Memphis, participants are assigned to one of three groups: Hudson House, Quincy House, or Willow House. These groups are assigned on social interests, available space, and staffing ratios rather than ability.

Our smaller focus groups encourage deeper social connections with other program participants, provide more opportunities for engagement, and create a sense of community. All groups engage in the same activities, however they typically occur on different days. Each house has a calendar of events for the month.

Participants gain enrichment through a variety of programming options. Our monthly calendars reflect a wide range of activities such as cultural field trips, health and wellness recreation, art, and much more.

Through purposeful engagement, participants adopt The Thrive Memphis Way: Excellence, Friendship, Worth, Teamwork.
