Sioux Falls Thrive is a small nonprofit organization based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, focused on improving outcomes for youth. It addresses factors outside the classroom that influence learning and achievement by adopting a cradle-to-career perspective. The organization employs a collective impact approach to realign community resources and remove systemic obstacles to student success, and the available materials note that it is permanently closed. Historically, the group pursued concrete initiatives such as launching Garden Week in May 2024. It has partnered on efforts to meet children's basic needs, including collaboration with Samaritan's Feet in 2021 to distribute shoes, and participation in the 2016 Affordable Housing Needs Assessment with Augustana University. These activities illustrate a focus on community collaboration to support children from cradle to career and address the home and neighborhood conditions that influence school readiness.
