SitemapFollowing Hurricanes Irma and Maria last September, some 300 Puerto Ricans relocated to the Mahoning Valley and a new organization has been launched to help acclimate them to the area.
Thrive Mahoning Valley, through support from the Raymond John Wean Foundation and the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp., officially launched Monday.
Through the organization’s website, ThriveMV.org, users can find information about employment, housing, education, child and senior care, mental health and transportation, among other topics. The site is bilingual, translated into Spanish by Lorene Swartz, who has spent a decade working with Latinos both in the Mahoning Valley and abroad.
