The Hive currently operates as on-the-job training through paid positions, allowing members to learn real skills while contributing to the community.
The long-term goal is to become a free training center, sharing practical, creative, and life-sustaining skills openly for the benefit of all.
Work at the Hive
Work in the Hive Community is different from a traditional job. You are not a cog in a machine doing repetitive tasks to pay for food or rent. Instead, Hive work is:
- Playful – Completing tasks with creativity, fun, and shared energy.
- Educational – Every task improves skill, efficiency, and confidence.
- Social – Your team is your friends, and collaboration builds trust and connection.
- Healthy – Work includes physical activity that strengthens the body and mind.
- Diverse – Tasks vary daily to keep life engaging and balanced. For example, digging in the garden for 30 minutes is excellent exercise, while longer sessions provide deeper work experience.
