Affiliates

STRIVE was established as a local New York City program in 1984. As we refined our approach and began to expand our services to locations around the metropolitan area, we saw a greater opportunity to impact employment services nationwide.

STRIVE International was formed as an administrative, training, advocacy, fund-raising, and consulting organization. Headquartered in New York, we facilitate the creation of local direct-service employment programs and partner with established agencies — our Affiliates — in offering programs based on the STRIVE model.

	STRIVE has affiliates in 18 U.S. locations. International affiliates offer STRIVE programs in 5 countries. STRIVE Chicago, active since 1990, is the longest-running Affiliate program outside of NY. Last year STRIVE London had the most graduates: 626!

Our affiliates are primarily non-profit organizations, faith-based institutions, and municipalities that administer local STRIVE employment centers. They are aligned by a commitment to assisting hard-to-employ individuals in securing unsubsidized entry-level jobs and gaining access to career development assistance. Established organizations may provide other services and programs in addition to the STRIVE job-readiness module. Affiliates participate in a dynamic international network with the means to influence and guide workforce development on a broad scale. [Become an Affiliate]
