Thelma Gibson Health Initiative, Inc. is a Miami-based nonprofit organization focused on reducing poverty-related barriers to health, education, skills, jobs, housing, and economic stability in low-income neighborhoods. Since 2000, it has pursued programs to address critical needs such as HIV and substance abuse, and has broadened services to include family education, teen violence prevention, and social and life skills development, complemented by job training and placement through its CANTEEN Jobs Program and the Passport Curriculum for Practical Skills. The organization employs a staff of Masters-level counselors, certified behavior analysts, case managers, and vocational training personnel to support individuals in advancing toward healthier, more skilled, and better organized lives, with the aim of helping clients secure career pathways within their communities. Target communities include areas where poverty and related social challenges are prevalent, and TGHI plans to expand its job readiness programs to additional locations within Miami-Dade County as part of its growth strategy.
