Creating a Local Thrive Guide

Bring a Thrive Guide to Your Community

You know your community best. A Local Thrive Guide brings trusted, installation-specific resources together in one place so military families can spend less time searching and more time finding the support they need.

Whether you’re a military spouse, Five & Thrive Community Representative, installation leader, or community partner, we’ll help you build one.

Simple Steps to Building Your Local Thrive Guide

It’s easier than you think! From idea to impact, we’ll help you build a resource that works for your community.

Connect

Tell Five & Thrive you’re interested in creating a Local Thrive Guide. We’ll help you get started and connect you with the right resources.

Gather

Identify the resources military families rely on both on and off the installation. Add the information families wish someone had handed them when they arrived.

Make It Local

Tailor your guide to your community’s unique resources, opportunities, and needs. Organize your local resources around the five quality-of-life areas at the heart of Five & Thrive.

Share + Keep It Current

Your Thrive Guide is a living resource. Share it digitally, make it easy to access, and establish a plan for reviewing links and information regularly.
