Volunteer with Children
Make a Difference that Lasts a Lifetime


Shape Brighter Futures for Children in the Gallatin Valley
Thrive is known for being one of the best local places to volunteer because of our Child Advancement Project (CAP). This program matches adult volunteers with children in Bozeman, Big Sky Public Schools, and Saddle Peak Elementary in Belgrade. Screened, trained, and supervised by professional CAP Coordinators, CAP mentors work one-on-one with students in grades K-12. They support students to discover their unique talents and inspire them to reach their highest potential.
*All CAP mentors must be at least 18 years of age.
