Helping teens live with purpose every day.
Strive Now empowers young people to build character, clarity, and leadership by connecting values to real life—at school, at work, and in their communities.
Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re lost.
Today’s teens are surrounded by pressure, expectations, and constant noise—but often lack space to slow down, reflect, and understand who they are becoming.
Pressure without direction
Achievement without meaning
Few guided spaces for reflection
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Strive Now is a youth-focused nonprofit dedicated to developing purpose-driven leaders and strengthening the communities they belong to.
We help teens build character, clarity, and practical leadership skills—while also investing in the educators, mentors, and professionals who shape the environments around them.
Led by experienced educators and mentors, Strive Now is trusted by schools, families, nonprofits, and community partners across El Paso.
