How Thrivehood Keeps Teens Safe
Local Neighborhood Zones
Teens only work within a small, walkable neighborhood zone — typically just a few blocks in every direction.
This keeps work:
-
Close to home
-
Familiar
-
Community-based
No Public Phone Numbers
Teen and parent phone numbers are never displayed publicly.
All initial communication is:
-
Masked
-
Routed through Thrivehood
-
Reviewed for safety
Parent Involvement
When a teen is under 18:
-
Parents are included in job notifications
-
Parents stay informed
-
Parents help decide what jobs are accepted
Thrivehood supports independence — with oversight when it matters.
How Thrivehood Protects Neighbors
Real Profiles, Not Anonymous Listings
Every Thrivepage belongs to a real teen in the neighborhood.
Neighbors can see:
-
A photo or avatar
-
Services offered
-
A personal introduction
No anonymous posts. No guessing who you’re hiring.
Requests Reviewed Before Connection
When a neighbor requests a service:
-
Thrivehood reviews the request
-
The teen and parent are notified
-
No direct contact happens automatically
Only approved requests move forward.
What Thrivehood Does
— and Doesn’t Do
What We Do
✔️ Create safe connections
✔️ Keep communication private
✔️ Support families when needed
What We Don’t Do
✖️ Take over the teen’s business
✖️ Insert ourselves into every step
✖️ Share private information
Once a connection is made, the teen runs their business.
Trust Grows Locally
Thrivehood works because it’s built around neighborhoods — not algorithms.
Neighbors hire teens they recognize.
Teens serve people they live near.
Parents stay in the loop.
That’s how trust grows naturally.
