OUR WORK

THE HIVE: WHERE COMMUNITY
MEETS TECHNOLOGY

Hives are safe and welcoming spaces where wonder is sparked, where people can explore tech, access training, and gain comfort and confidence being online.

Every Hive has:

  • Hands-on experiences with tablets, laptops, desktops, VR, 3D printing, podcasting, videography, robotics, AI and more.
  • Digital Navigators who listen first—providing one-on-one guidance based on individual goals.
  • Workshops that go beyond tech—exploring cybersecurity, AI, digital storytelling, and the creative tools that shape tomorrow.
  • Pathways to education and careers, connecting digital skills to real-world opportunities.

Through a hub-and-spoke model, Hives exist where they are needed most—in neighborhoods, at pop-up sites, and on the road with the Mobile Hive, ensuring access is never out of reach.
