The Hive Youth and Teen Center
The Hive is the ultimate hangout designed specifically for middle and high school students who need a space that's all about them. It's a place where teens can gather with friends, engage in exciting activities, and express their creativity. Whether it's gaming tournaments, movie nights, leadership opportunities, cooking classes, or simply a spot to relax with friends, The Hive offers a variety of experiences tailored to their interests.
This isn't a child care program—it’s a teen-driven environment where young people have the freedom to be themselves. They can work on homework, explore new skills, and have their voices heard. The Hive provides the ideal setting for teens to learn, grow, and be recognized for their efforts and talents, all while having fun on their own terms.
