Housing

Supplying safe, healthy living spaces for our young people to grow into successful adults.

We currently work with a handful of referral partners and help Young Innovators navigate the process of securing housing. Ultimately, we will provide a three-year housing program on The Hive campus.

Restoration

Fixing the relationships in our communities one step, one person, one conversation at a time.

We implement restorative practices throughout our organization in order to address harm, accountability, and create a culture of healing. We're currently working Dr. Ram Bhagat and Restorative Richmond to continue developing this work.

EDUCATION

Increasing access to knowledge and information that expands minds, worlds, and opportunities.

Monthly life skills workshops are our main educational programs, along with supporting any Young Innovator's educational goals. We envision an alternative school on the future Hive campus that would include high school diploma, G.E.D., and vocational opportunities.

GOOD LIVING

Prioritizing help, health, and support in order to grow beyond surviving to thriving.

The health of our mind and body are a top priority from which everything else can blossom. Young Innovators attend a variety of health and wellness workshops and are given referrals to vetted resources. The Hive campus may include a health and wellness clinic in the future.
