Thrive is an entire catalogue of all of the most important resources for Youth Ministers. Thanks to the Diocese of Raleigh, this resource is TOTALLY FREE for our parishes (normally $390/year)!

Our diocese is a partner with Project Youth Ministry to provide ministry leaders with a professional online support system of Catholic leaders from around your diocese and the world. Using the Thrive Online Community, parish youth leaders have 24/7 access to digital resources, training materials, live broadcasts, and collective wisdom.

Testimonies from THRIVE users around the Diocese of Raleigh

“I love the shared resources. I have used some for both Faith Formation classes and shared with my catechists to implement in their Faith Formation classes. I also use the course library and used one to help train my catechist volunteers...plan to use more.”
- Melissa Edwards, St. Francis de Sales, Lumberton

"When I have a question or want to gather feedback from others in a similar position, I go to Thrive. I always get feedback that is relational to my situation."
- Susan Clifton, St. Matthew, Durham

"There is no other place for me to connect with other Youth Ministers or brainstorm with them like Thrive—great resource for the diocese, especially the Pro groups. Highly recommend having Michael come back & do another training like he did in Summer 2022."
