Flourish develops innovative, wellness-based pathways for low-income individuals to achieve financial self-sufficiency.
What is Flourish?
Flourish is a one-year financial education and holistic wellness program designed to help women heads-of-household with low income achieve financial self-sufficiency. Flourish is where financial empowerment meets whole-person wellness.
Recognizing that stress and trauma accompany life with low income, Flourish takes an innovative approach to empowerment: linking program participants to practical financial, career development, and self-care resources; cultivating community across socio-economic differences; and providing access to mental health resources.
Embrace Community
Flourish is a community-building program that features weekly meetings where people from diverse backgrounds and financial situations focus on whole-person wellness and building mutual relationships.
Flourish Together
We exist to establish grassroots communities and collaborate with a network of community resource providers, civic organizations, faith-based groups, individuals, and businesses to change the economic reality in in Forsyth County.
Be the Solution
Flourish recognizes that most of our society expects low-income populations to overcome systemic obstacles on their own. Yet, their perspectives, gifts, and knowledge are almost always overlooked by those with power to change systemic issues.
Our Mission
Challenge cycles of poverty through personal and community wellness
Our Vision
Communities committed to cultivating mutual and diverse relationships where all individuals flourish
