Thrive Detroit Street Paper

Promote your business while supporting a good cause; advertising with Thrive Detroit is the perfect solution.

Welcome to Thrive Detroit

At Thrive Detroit, we honor our roots as a street newspaper, a proud member of the international network of street papers. Our mission has always been to empower individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness by providing dignified opportunities to earn income while sharing stories that matter.

While we’ve paused print publications, Thrive Detroit is transitioning to an online platform to continue this vital work. Through donations and advertising revenue, we support those in need by partnering with organizations like COTS and offering direct opportunities for individuals to contribute stories and be compensated for their work.

Our Commitment

Keeping the Mission Alive: As an online street newspaper, we remain dedicated to amplifying voices and providing a platform for empowerment.

Supporting Writers: Those who qualify as vendors can choose to write for us, earning income while sharing their stories and perspectives.

Building Community: Collaborating with organizations and exploring microenterprise opportunities to create sustainable solutions.

At Thrive Detroit, we believe in the transformative power of stories—not just to connect us, but to create pathways out of poverty. Join us on this journey by reading, contributing, or supporting our mission.
