Thrive Collective builds relationships between neighborhood churches and non-profits with local schools that empower students to lead change in their communities. “Franks and Friendships” tells the story of how one teacher’s investment, combined with support from our congregation, transformed P.S. 34 student Emmanuel Delgado into a community leader — and a future intern with Thrive.
He was also featured on WABC 7’s Tiempo newsmagazine show to discuss his work.

Watch Manny Delgado discuss how mentors from Abounding Grace Ministries have impacted his life: “I cannot say that I’d be where I am today if it wasn’t for them. I’ve grown so much, even having the confidence to say hello to anybody was something I wouldn’t be able to do.” (Clip begins at 1:33)
