ABOUT THRIVE BEYOND
Thrive Beyond is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people with disabilities, older adults, and people living with chronic health conditions through meaningful opportunities for connection, wellness, learning, and personal growth.
Through inclusive programs, engaging activities, wellness experiences, and community outings, we bring people together to reduce social isolation, build friendships, stay active, explore new interests, and enjoy meaningful experiences together.
At Thrive Beyond, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to feel included, supported, connected, and empowered to continue thriving.
Thrive Beyond began with a deeply held belief: meaningful connections should continue, even when life brings unexpected change.
Over the years, the community experienced the heartbreaking loss of a beloved leader. The later closing of a long-standing program brought another season of change, leaving many people wondering how the friendships and connections they had built could continue.
Takycha Jones believed those relationships were too meaningful to leave behind. Guided by compassion and a desire to keep people connected, she founded Thrive Beyond.
Thrive Beyond is an inclusive and welcoming community where older adults, individuals with disabilities, and people living with chronic health conditions can feel seen, supported, and valued. It is a place where friendships can flourish, joyful memories can be made, and everyone can discover new opportunities to learn, grow, and enjoy life.
What began as a desire to preserve meaningful connections has grown into a hopeful vision for the future, one that honors the past while opening the door to new friendships, new experiences, and new possibilities.
Because community is more than a place. It is the feeling of knowing you belong
