The CAP mentoring program was established in 1989. The CAP program matches community volunteers in the Bozeman and Big Sky Public Schools with over 600 children grades K-12, annually. These mentors work one-on-one with children to increase academic and social competency and to enhance opportunities for academic challenge. They provide support and encouragement, help students discover and build upon their individual strengths and affirm student's ability to shape their own futures. Mentors are screened, trained and supervised by CAP Coordinators.

CAP was formally place in the National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices as an evidence based program in 2012.

Mentors work with students to:
- Provide academic, social or enrichment support
- Increase class participation, academic performance and attendance

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Thrive works to ensure all children can reach their full potential by creating a support network around them through their families, schools, and the community.

Thrive's programs include the most influential people in children's lives and teach them how to be effective and supportive in their role of stakeholders in the child's success. This is done through prevention based services that aim to reach the child's support network as early as possible in order to provide a comprehensive care continuum for children and families from birth to graduation.

Our proven programs have been developed using evidence-based practices, adapted to meet local community needs, and rigorously and continually evaluated to ensure program efficacy.

For over thirty years, Thrive has been developing and nurturing critical community partnerships built on sharing design, implementation, management, evaluation, financial resources, and responsibilities for programs. This approach, which has the success of the child at its center, results in the highest quality services, maximizes scarce resources, and has a powerful impact on outcomes for children.

As the premiere organization for families in our community, Thrive won the “Best Nonprofit in Bozeman" award for 8 consecutive years.

- Our programming serves 1 in 6 people in Bozeman each year, and that number continues to grow annually in direct proportion to local population increases.
- Our Child Advancement Project achieved evidence-based status 2012 through the National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices.
- Thrive was the recipient of "Best Nonprofit in Bozeman" award for 8 consecutive years.
- Our Partnership Project was featured in the Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences in 2015 as a best practice for home visiting models.
- We recently completed our first ever capital campaign and bought our own building.

Our evidence-based and evidence-informed programs address both common, and uncommon obstacles in raising children who will be confident and resilient as they come into adulthood. Through our five signature programs, we work to supply the tools needed for families to support themselves and each other in raising children who will reach their highest potential. We believe that with this foundation, children will enter the world with the ability to advocate for themselves and effectively solve problems as they arise. After successfully starting programs in two other communities we are assessing our ability to continue these scale up efforts and establish the best model to create a sustainable revenue source for Thrive.

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

done We shared information about our current feedback practices.

  • Who are the people you serve with your mission?

    We serve any child, any family, with any need.

  • How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

    To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals

  • What significant change resulted from feedback?

    Virtual parenting classes because it eliminates the need for child care and transportation and can be done while folding clothes. Some parents definitely express a need to stay at home but participate in a class and we have responded by offering our classes virtual since the pandemic began.

  • Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

    We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We tell the people who gave us feedback how we acted on their feedback, We ask the people who gave us feedback how well they think we responded

  • What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

    We don’t have the right technology to collect and aggregate feedback efficiently, It is difficult to find the ongoing funding to support feedback collection, Staff find it hard to prioritize feedback collection and review due to lack of time
