The value of Hive is best described through two perspectives; its core organizers and its members. The Hive is an opportunity to collaborate and engage different individuals and organizations working to equip more youth with the skills needed to be critical thinkers, creators and citizens of the web. Hives provide space for innovation and solving challenges of being part of the global connected network. | |||
Value is placed on the creation of programming to support youth in the exploration of their interests, development of news skills and to encourage them to follow their passions through the integration and application of digital media and technology in adult-supported environments. | |||

'''* The People:''' Hive has picked some great organizations. A key feature of their picks is diversity, e.g., of skill-sets, missions, geography, age, cultural background, styles, and sizes.

'''* Minimal Agenda:''' In his words, the Hive encourages members to " want members to remain who they are while they explore, create and share at their own pace and in their own way". | |||
'''* 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. | |||
'''* Explore, Create, Share:''' The Hive provides an opportunity for member organizations to explore new programming pathways, ideas and goals and grow the impact of their work. Working in a Hive allows big ideas to come to fruition through the support of your Hive team as well as other member organizations. | |||
