Thriving Skills

Every year thousands of orphaned and at-risk youth face the difficult life transition to adulthood and independent living.

Many dream of furthering their education, starting a career, providing for their families, traveling the world, and giving back to their community.

But orphaned and abandoned youth have to overcome incredible obstacles to reach these goals and successfully transition to a stable, independent life.

The transition to independence looks like a giant cliff.

WE WANT TO TURN THAT CLIFF INTO A BRIDGE.

Your monthly gift can give a transformational year of classes to an orphaned youth that will prepare them for independent living! Your monthly gift over one year can provide:

$32 monthly - 3 months of Thriving Skills classes

$65 monthly - 6 months of Thriving Skills classes

$95 monthly - an ENTIRE YEAR of Thriving Skills classes

Student Testimonies

Maria Del Carmen from Colombia

"After graduating as a nursing assistant, I could not find work because of my lack of experience.
Then I learned about Flint Global’s program that trained people in different life areas such as living independently, ways to save money, how to create a resume, and how to respond in an interview. Additionally, they provided a paid internship.
I this was a great opportunity for us since we often lack this critical knowledge.

I am infinitely grateful for this opportunity."
José David from Honduras

"The program is good for creating leaders and teaching them how to live in the real world.
It teaches us how to be independent and be able to manage money in the best way. I also learned how to handle credit cards, manage money well, and how to use a savings account."
Estefany from Guatemala

"The Flint program has impacted my life so much for good. I enjoy every class we have.
They have taught me that there are many viable work opportunities for me, and that as a woman I am capable of accomplishing extraordinary things.
Thanks to the Flint program my life has new meaning, and now I have new tools to move forward in life despite my past. Thank you for supporting youth in Guatemala and inspiring us to keep going!"
Norman from Honduras

"I graduated from the Flint Global program and am now studying business and working in a Netflix call center. Flint Global helped me have a goal of starting a new job because there were so many things that I did not know. It helped me to communicate better and have more empathy with other people.
People should support this program because of what I am now! The program helped me so much and helps lots of people around the world who do not have all the skills that I have right now. When you help someone it's like you help Jesus, that's what I think. And sometimes you don't know but you make their life better."
Julio from Honduras

I never viewed this program as a class but rather an opportunity to learn and grow, and also knew that this was going to help us in life. I have lived independently for two months and believe me, this has been a super help.
I have to thank the program. There is no doubt that I learned, from how to stay healthy to how to act in real life.
Thank you very much to all of you. I hope this program multiplies to many young people who really need it. My thanks to the Flint Global Thriving Skills Program.

Flint Global serves orphaned and at-risk youth (ages 15-25) by equipping local orphan homes and other non-profit organizations to provide Flint's Thriving Skills program to youth preparing for the transition to independence, work, and adulthood. Thriving Skills is a practical life and job training program with regular classes, field trips, mentoring, and in some cases paid internships.

Through this process, students learn the skills needed for independence and work, develop a mindset necessary for healthy decision-making in adulthood, and gain real employment or business opportunities through networking and coaching.
