Thrive, a relatively new nonprofit organization, works to break cycles of poverty by building community support systems, increasing financial stability, and teaching essential parenting skills to families who would otherwise feel isolated and overwhelmed.
• Founded by Jamie Morris Hardeman in response to patterns observed at CASA, where families in the foster care system often lacked financial stability, support networks, and parenting skills
• Meets weekly on Thursday nights with approximately 50 participants including volunteers, families, and children
• Takes a multi-generational approach to address poverty by working with parents and children simultaneously
• Uses science-based stress reduction techniques including mindfulness, journaling, and doodling, which can cut cortisol levels in half
• Success stories include participants attending college, completing vocational training, securing better jobs, and becoming Habitat homeowners
• Volunteers are crucial to the program, working with adults, teenagers, or younger children depending on their interests
• First United Methodist Church provides their fellowship hall for meetings, which include shared meals and programming

Philanthropy Today is brought to you by the Greater
Manhattan Community Foundation.
In this episode we feature arecently broadcast segment of
the GMCF Community Hour, asheard on NewsRadio KMAN.
Welcome back to the GMCFCommunity Hour.
It is Monday.
We do the show every Mondaymorning at 10, 10.07, you know
(00:22):
to be a little bit more preciseabout it, but we have the great
opportunity to visit with a lotof nonprofits and talk about
some of the things that they do,the impacts that they make on
the community, at least whattheir goals are.
One of those organizations is afairly new one.
It's called Thrive and theexecutive director of Thrive is
Jamie Morris Hardiman, who'swell known in the community for
(00:44):
being someone who has thrownherself into a lot of different
roles, as a city commissionerand as a county commissioner and
CASA in years past, but nowshe's the executive director of
Thrive and it's always apleasure to visit with Jamie
Morris Hardeman.
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Good morning Dave.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, you've got a lot going on, it sounds like
here with Thrive and many otherthings.
So let's just talk a little bitabout Thrive and for the
newcomers to the show, whatThrive is.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Sure.
So I helped the found Thrive afew years ago in response to
what I was seeing at CASA in thefamilies that we were serving.
So the families that we servedat CASA primarily had three
things in common they werestruggling financially.
So most of the families we seeat CASA are in financial poverty
.
We saw a lot of families wholacked a support system.
(01:37):
That was kind of a universalfeature of people who ended up
with kids in the foster caresystem was no support and they
oftentimes lacked parentingskills and usually that was
because they grew up in a homewhere they had not learned how
to be an effective parent.
And so Thrive was founded inresponse to that with the idea
of let's create an organizationthat can work with families long
term and help people to buildtheir support systems, increase
(02:01):
their financial stability andlearn some skills.
So the idea behind Thrivereally is to bring people
together in community to helppeople be able to dream and set
goals and actually work toachieve those goals.
So it's been a real eye-openingexperience to see how just this
group that meets once a weekand hangs out together can
(02:24):
really help people makesignificant changes in their
lives.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
How many people do you work with on a regular basis
?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
So on average we meet on Thursday nights.
On average Thursday night wehave about 50 people there.
So we have people from thecommunity who've come as
volunteers, who want to justwalk alongside people who are
struggling.
We have families, so we have alot of kids that we work with,
and that multi-generationalapproach to me so we have a lot
of kids that we work with andthat's that multi-generational
approach to me is a reallyimportant piece of breaking that
cycle of poverty.
If we can work with kids, wereally have the opportunity to
(02:54):
build skills, get them focusedon education and then move them
to a place where hopefully, theywill not have the same
struggles their parents had.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You know you talk about the education aspect and
there's more to it because it isan emotional thing strain on
many people when you talk aboutthe finances and the challenges
that they face.
What kind of components do youhave in dealing with the
emotional aspect of the workthat you do within your
educational process?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And that is something we learned very early on was
that people come to us insurvival mode, so our brains are
wired that if things aredifficult or stressful, we
disconnect the thinking part ofour brain and we go into
reactive mode, and so it'simagine like your Wi-Fi goes out
you have the information stillthere, but you can't access it.
(03:48):
And so we spend a lot of timeat Thrive talking about
attachment, feeling safe, seenand soothed so that you can be
secure.
We spend a lot of time workingon things like mindfulness and
journaling.
Rhythmic, repetitive motion hasbeen shown to significantly
decrease stress, so somethinglike doodling for 15 minutes
(04:10):
actually cuts your cortisol oryour stress hormone levels in
half.
So there's some really greatscience now around how we can
help people to reduce stress andwhat it actually does, all the
way down to the level of yourDNA.
So this is me being my geekyscience background, my
education's in science and so Iget really excited when I can
think about how can we impactpeople's stress levels in a way
(04:33):
that improves their cellularhealth, and so that's what I
think that we're doing at Thriveis is we've got the big picture
.
We're trying to help get peopleout of survival mode and into a
mode where they can be learningand curious.
But we're also trying to helppeople learn skills that help
them to improve their cellularhealth you talk about doodling.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't remember last time I picked up a pencil yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
So there's this really great book that came out
last year called your brain onart, and yes, since we were just
talking about the museum of artand light, it shows that even
going to view art 15 to 20minutes of viewing art reduces
your cortisol levelssignificantly.
But doodling?
So what they did was they tookpeople's saliva and they looked
at their cortisol levels andthey had people doodle for 15
minutes and it cut theircortisol levels in half, just to
(05:18):
doodle.
So writing does the same thing.
It's anything that's rhythmic,repetitive motion, music, making
music, listening to music Allof those things are really
important for our bodies toreduce stress.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One of the things that I think that people need to
work on is penmanship.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's a great opportunity to do that, isn't it
?
Oh my gosh.
Yes, need to work on ispenmanship.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's a great opportunity to do that, isn't it
?
Nobody writes anymore.
I know, I know.
When was the last time you justsat down and wrote a letter?
Of course, for you it would bedifferent, I suppose, because
you're doing a lot of thank yous.
I like to send mail.
I like to get mail.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
So I send a lot of mail and so, yes, writing is
something that people just don'tdo.
Cursive.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Let alone write it.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, they definitely can't write it Do they know what
it is.
They recognize it, but they'relike I can't read that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I remember how painstaking it was just to stay
within the lines.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh my gosh, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
The little big chief tablets that we had to learn on
had that spacing for us?
Oh, but how?
How far back can we date ushere in the show?
Yeah, so tell me a little bitabout the structure of Thrive,
because I know you used the wordvolunteer and you are an
executive director, whichdenotes that you are staff.
(06:33):
Is there other staff that'sinvolved with the effort?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
There is.
So between three people, we areone full-time person.
We have Susan Wendland who doesour youth programming.
She's a retired educator, 33years in education here in USD
383.
And then Misty Lemoine is ourcoach, so she works with the
adults.
So we've got an adult personand a youth person and we meet
(06:57):
regularly, generally speaking,once a week on Thursday nights.
We have a meal, because wethink that that's an important
part of community is eatingtogether.
So we have a meal and then wehave programming following that.
For the summer we're just goingto meet on the first and third
Thursdays of the month.
We're taking a little bit of abreak.
Summer is a hard time forpeople.
Their schedules are busy, so weare just getting together twice
(07:21):
a month for the summer, butcome fall we'll be back to every
Thursday night.
The Methodist Church FirstNation Methodist Church lets us
use their fellowship hall, sowe're really grateful for that
space Perfect for being able toserve lots of people food.
We have lots of communitymembers who donate meals for us,
so that's a real way thatpeople can get involved and then
people just come.
We ask our volunteers to cometwice a month and spend time as
(07:44):
mentors, but also gives them achance to work on their own
goals.
So if you are someone who wantsto set a goal, you want to
learn a new skill, thrive wouldbe a great place to come and
have support as you work on thatnew goal, no matter where you
are in your life.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well, you can also grow as a volunteer or as a
member of the staff, in so manydifferent ways, and so you know
everything that we strive to do.
Whenever we volunteer, we'renot just giving time, but we're
also expanding our own abilities, and that's something that a
lot of people, I think,sometimes take for granted.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I think that's true.
Volunteerism is significantlydown following the pandemic
nationwide.
I mean, this is a problemacross the country, but people
just don't want to leave theirhomes.
Right, They've worked all day,they go home.
They don't want to go back outagain and do something.
But you can make such adifference in the community and
in your own life.
I mean, when I think about whenI started volunteering with
CASA 27 years ago, I was a young, dumb Johnson County kid who
(08:41):
had no idea what was going on inthe world and had no
understanding of abuse andneglect or poverty or any of
these issues.
And boy, my life has changed sosignificantly because of the
volunteer positions I've had inmy life.
So I'm very grateful for that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Let's talk a little bit about the process that's
involved in becoming a volunteermember through Thrive.
You have a website, you gothrough, pick up the phone, call
.
What's the best thing to do?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Sure, yeah.
So our website'sthriveflinhillscom.
Encourage people to go there.
You're welcome to give us aphone call.
There's email addresses onthere as well, so just encourage
people to reach out and let usknow that you have some interest
in joining us.
We're happy to meet with peopleto talk about what we do and
what it would look like for youas a volunteer.
One of our more exciting thingswe're doing right now is we have
(09:30):
a lot of youth that have beeninvolved with our program for
some time, that have come withtheir parents, who are teenagers
, so high school students nowand we have a whole group of
teens with some really greatadult volunteers Jim Armer and
Darius is leading that charge.
So Jim's a retired principalfrom our district and he and
Gavin Larios are kind of leadingthe charge on this teen group
(09:53):
of trying to help these kids setand achieve goals around their
education, but also just lifeskills.
So if you like working withteenagers, we'd love to have you
in that capacity.
If you'd prefer to work withadults, and then we need
volunteers to work with ouryounger youth as well.
So if you're a person who lovesto work with kids, we'd love to
have you in that capacity aswell.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
How do you gauge your success at Thrive?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So we do quarterly evaluations of all of our
participants, volunteers,everybody, everybody who's there
gets a quarterly evaluation tolook at the four core areas that
we focus on, which are physicalhealth, mental health,
financial stability and healthyrelationships or support system,
and so we really focus in onthose areas.
(10:41):
But to me, success is today wehave one of our former
participants who is startingcollege, going back to school.
We have someone who justfinished up at Bellas Academy.
We have two people who justfinished their freshman year at
K-State.
We've got a couple peoplewho've gone to the technical
college and earned their CNAsand are making more money at
their jobs, you know.
(11:02):
So it's, there's tangiblepieces to it, and I can say
success is helping someone toget back to school.
Success is having we have fourHabitat homeowners through
Thrive Right.
Success is helping someone finda home.
But there's also the piece ofsuccess is people have built
community.
When people come to us,oftentimes on those surveys
they'll say they have zeropeople they could count on.
(11:24):
You know, if your tire blew outon the side of the road and you
had to call someone for help,how many people could you call?
Dave?
You know my list would probablybe in the hundreds and I bet
yours would too that you couldcall someone who would come to
help you.
Most of the people we work havezero, and so my goal is, by the
time they leave us, they canidentify five to six people who
they could call on if they werein trouble, and I think that
(11:45):
building community is such apowerful piece of what Thrive
does.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right.
Well, how can people find outmore?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Encourage you to go to our website,
thriveflinthillscom, learn moreabout what we're doing, and we'd
love to have you come visit uson a Thursday night and we'd be
happy to give you someinformation about that.
My email isdirectorthriveflinhills at
gmailcom.
So encourage people to email meif you want to, but we would
love to give you moreinformation about what we're
(12:16):
doing.
I think we are significantlychanging lives, even though it's
small.
It's a small number of peoplethat we're changing their lives,
but the ripple effect of thatthrough generations is going to
be significant.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
And you can be part of that.
You make an impact on oneperson.
You're definitely makingprogress.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
One person at a time, 100%.

(03:48):
And so we spend a lot of timeat Thrive talking about

We spend a lot of time workingon things like mindfulness and

(11:02):
So it's, there's tangiblepieces to it, and I can say
success is helping someone toget back to school.
Success is having we have fourHabitat homeowners through
Thrive Right.
Success is helping someone finda home.
But there's also the piece ofsuccess is people have built
community.
When people come to us,oftentimes on those surveys
they'll say they have zeropeople they could count on.
(11:24):
You know, if your tire blew outon the side of the road and you
had to call someone for help,how many people could you call?
Dave?
You know my list would probablybe in the hundreds and I bet
yours would too that you couldcall someone who would come to
help you.
Most of the people we work havezero, and so my goal is, by the
time they leave us, they canidentify five to six people who
they could call on if they werein trouble, and I think that
(11:45):
building community is such apowerful piece of what Thrive
does.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right.
Well, how can people find outmore?
Speaker 2 (11:55):

So encourage people to email meif you want to, but we would
love to give you moreinformation about what we're
(12:16):

small.
It's a small number of peoplethat we're changing their lives,
but the ripple effect of thatthrough generations is going to
be significant.
