Strive Youth Education Center offers educational programs that help children, youth, and adults acquire skills, develop habits, and learn to be active participants in building vibrant communities.
Started in 2018 as a grassroots initiative, we are a group of youth, parents, friends, and neighbors in Chelsea who are committed to building a more united and vibrant community.
We offer empowerment programs for children, junior youth, youth, and families who want to grow and contribute to the betterment of their communities. These programs are part of a global educational process and a movement of communities taking ownership of their own development.
