Our Story & Mission

About Us

When 9th-grade Girl Scouts Val, Liana, and Annie had the opportunity to start a community initiative, they knew what their focus would be. Having witnessed homophobic, racist, and identity-based discrimination in their own communities, they felt a drive to create a solution.

That drive became The Hive Project. Our platform made to stand alongside targeted teens, offer comfort, and to ensure that no young person feels alone.

Our mission is to connect minority youth with useful resources and safe environments. To boost our reach, all proceeds collected from The Hive Project are donated to minority resource organizations that assist teens facing identity-based discrimination.
