History
Established in 2017.
Thrive Young Leaders is an ever-evolving program with a vision to serve the needs of teens and young adults. We started in 2017 as a tutoring and academic coaching business for teens. Today, we have transformed into a program that guides teens and young adults into deep and meaningful connection with themselves, the Earth, community, and their purpose. Deanna believes that teens and young adults hold the key to our future, and at this moment in time, they need guidance and support more than ever.
By offering guidance and support through Nature-based Life Coaching, Mentoring, and Rites of Passage, Deanna connects teens and young adults with their purpose, sense of identity, belonging in community and to the Earth, and personal gifts. Through this connection, teens and young adults can step into adulthood prepared and empowered to be true leaders of their own lives, community, and environment.
