MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Our mission is to encourage young people to discover their character strengths and the joy of service through programs inspired by the life of Nick Fagnano.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

As we focus our long-term goals, C11 will be the guiding beacon for all our endeavors. At Thrive in Joy, we believe: Every young person is inspired by someone in their life but most don’t realize how much of an inspiration they can be to others…right now. Through the ripple effect of Nick’s life, teens see the possibility for their lives to matter and how decisions they make will impact their capacity for joy, self-confidence, and social change Teens don’t have to be “influencers” to inspire and it doesn’t matter how many followers you have on social media. By being a friend, giving positive feedback to others, and experiencing positive feedback from your peers you’ll recognize your character strengths and be able to apply them to all of life’s challenges and opportunities. C is the first letter of Character and it’s also the chemical symbol for Carbon. Eleven is the number of character traits that best describe Nick. It’s only when carbon experiences extreme heat and pressure that it becomes a diamond. Young people, especially those from low-income families, experience many pressures throughout high school. The C11 Strength of Character program gives teens the tools to recognize these pressures are natural aspects of growth and change and not insurmountable obstacles. Through C11 teens are prepared to face challenges with confidence knowing they are supported by their fellow Thrive in Joy peers and confident in the potential for their lives to have a positive impact on their community.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

We offer our C11 Strength of Character program to high schools with a focus on empowering students from low-income communities. C11 is active in multiple high schools in the Los Angeles area as well as globally. We also take teams to the Dominican Republic where we serve in partnership with local young adult volunteers to improve the quality of life for children and families in need.
