MARLBOROUGH – Thrive Support & Advocacy, a local nonprofit that empowers youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, will expand into Worcester in September to serve the city and its surrounding communities. The expansion is made possible by the opening of Thrive's new Worcester office at 100 Grove St. The organization is headed by President and CEO Sean Rose, who is also a Worcester city councilor. The yearlong, application-based program is designed for young adults between the ages of 17 and 25 who have an intellectual or developmental disability. Seven young adults have graduated from the initiative this summer.
