Be creative. Be brave. Be early. That’s our simple philosophy when collaborating with kids.

Kids Thrive is a team of artists and creative thinkers in Melbourne Australia. We have a long term, heart-centred view that children are collaborators in, and creators of community.

Kids Thrive partners with kids and leading specialists in children’s health, family violence prevention, education and disability.  Together we create enriching arts-based programmes and resources to address issues facing kids aged 0-12 and their communities.

Whether our Kids Thrive team is facilitating kids to become creative philanthropists in their local area, or collaborating with them in re-framing obstacles through songwriting and storymaking, our creatives bring out the best in kids by giving them our best – no dumbing down; no sugaring up.

At Kids Thrive, we believe life imitates art – which is why we make art for kids worthy of imitation.

Please join us on our quest to be the people our kids think we are!
