About Project THRIVE
Thank you for your interest in participating in Project THRIVE! This program is brand new to the Shenandoah Valley and was created with intentions to assist area businesses and nonprofit organizations in the journey from surviving to thriving in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Project THRIVE is a six-week, virtual, facilitated program provided by JMU's Professional & Continuing Education (PCE). We are proud to introduce this program and we are looking for 8 to 10 nonprofit organizations to become a part of our inaugural cohort. We hope that the relationships you will build within this cohort will continue to grow beyond our six weeks together.
Throughout your participation in Project THRIVE, you will be supported by PCE staff and JMU students who are determined to see you succeed.

The results obtained from your application will be kept in confidence. Your information will be stored in a secure location accessible only to PCE staff.
