STRIVE, which stands for Support and Training Result in Valuable Employees, is a recognized innovative leader in job-readiness programs combining attitudinal training with fundamental job skills, and long-term participant follow-up.

STRIVE originated in 1984 as East Harlem Employment Service, Inc. in the basement of a New York City housing project to implement the vision of making self-sufficiency a viable opportunity for the unemployed.

STRIVE has since grown into a network comprised of 20 domestic and international affiliates — with affiliated agencies in the United Kingdom and Israel.

STRIVE International serves as a resource for the sharing of program innovations, best practices and staff training. Our global network places an average of 3000 people a year, and to date, our programs have placed more than 33,000 individuals in employment.
