Our goal is to help remove obstacles that inhibit middle school teens and their families from reaching their full potentials.

INVESTING IN
TUCSON'S YOUTH

At the beginning of 2024, Doolen’s administration, Higher Ground Nonprofit Staff, and Tucson Thrives began a fruitful partnership to help address the needs of Doolen’s students and their families. So far, Tucson Thrives has taken on the tasks of providing donated clothing, shoes, office and school supplies, hygiene supplies, and cleaning supplies. Donations of this kind are always accepted.

​

In the near future, Tucson Thrives will be working closely with Doolen’s administration and staff to identify the barriers some students experience in reaching middle school success. To learn more about the student population at Doolen Middle School, please visit their website at https://doolenms.tusd1.org.
