Become a Part of Thrive

You may be wondering, what is Thrive? Well, Thrive is the national consulting program that empowers lodges to overcome their unique challenges through individualized mentorship. This is led by specially trained partners from across the Order whose sole mission is to guide lodge leaders on their journey to success!

Thrive works directly with lodges on the visions and ideas they want to develop. Every engagement with Thrive is individually tailored to your specific lodge. Thrive puts an emphasis on personal growth, which ensures lodge leaders of all skills and backgrounds are set up for success. When engaging with our team, you can expect to gain the experience and capabilities of leaders who have been in your shoes. This will help you in leading your lodge to new heights, and tackling the most difficult challenges your lodge faces. 

Now you may be asking, does Thrive really help? Well, so far the Thrive program has proven to be quite successful. Since the program was established in 2020, lodges that have completed Thrive have scored 8% higher than the national average on the Performance Measurement Program.

Don't just take our word for it – Adam L., a lodge chief who partnered with Thrive during the inaugural year of its formation, had this to say about the program:

"When my lodge first partnered with Thrive, we weren't quite sold on how these volunteers could really help solve the problems that we were facing. These challenges were the same ones that we continuously faced year after year and just seemed impossible to overcome. By the end of our engagement with Thrive, however, they provided us with much more than just the answers to our problems. They instilled within me the confidence and understanding that these challenges were possible to overcome, and that we had to be intentional and creative in how we face them."

Regardless of your ambitions, Thrive can provide solutions to challenges for day-to-day hurdles or future succession and long-term planning. We, at the root of it, are passionate and experienced volunteers who just aim to help other members of this remarkable organization realize that the impossible is possible.

We consist of teams dedicated to working with lodges, marketing and branding, recruitment, and so much more, and we would love for anyone interested to join our team.
