''' | * '''Programs:''' Hive itself is not a program for youth, but virtually all of its members. Members are exposed to the great work of other organizations in their cities creating better community building opportunities and relationships. Opportunities are abound which is great news for students from all member organizations. | ||

Working in a Hive allows big ideas to come to fruition through the support of your Hive team as well as other member organizations. | ||
