Thrive Youth Center was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in February of 2015 by founder and executive director Sandra Whitley. From a young age, Sandra Whitley knew she would live a unique life. At first, it looked like she might become an Olympian.

“For some reason, I was born fast. I was in Junior Olympics and everybody thought I was going to the Olympics,” Whitley said. “Everything was looking good.”

Then in an instant, things changed: Whitley was caught kissing girls.

“That didn’t go over too well,” she said. “The school district actually tried to get me kicked out of school indefinitely, and my parents ended up putting me in a mental institution.”

It was the mid-1970s. Whitley lived in the South and being gay was still essentially considered a disease.

“I can tell you that women were raped [in the institution]. If you did something wrong, you were put in a 2-by-4 padded cell,” she said.
