We at Thrive...

Nora Dejaco

Initiator, President,

“

...pursue the vision of a future in which many people have many opportunities – and we can all be and become whatever we want to be. Thrive+ was created with the mission and passion to strengthen the rights of FLINTA individuals in particular, to inspire and connect people, and to equip them with new knowledge and skills. Internally, this applies to all members; externally, it applies to all projects and activities we implement. Our mission is to contribute to a future with greater gender equality. We believe in the power of connection.
