Above all, Strive Hive instills in each individual a sense of
pride, motivation, and professionalism.
Christina
A former incarcerated individual, worked with us last year and has since taken on a leadership role, managing one of our mobile housing units, and managing the “front of house” for one of our busiest concession stands. She now has a permanent residence in addition to going on the road with us, and a car.
Steven
Who had once been homeless and living in a tent, now enjoys the security of a safe home for the duration of the season, and is currently saving his earnings from working on our registers toward buying the instruments and lessons he wants to pursue a career in music.
Miranda
A 45-year-old grandmother who after a life-altering car accident, struggled with painkiller and alcohol addiction is now on a path to recovery, rebuilding her life with the help of our program and learning valuable food handling safety, and is actively on her way to getting her license to drive trucks and pull trailers.
We have a few other individuals who have just started with us and are already off to a great start. We love to wake up in the morning and hear the positivity that comes from some of the newest people who have joined when they realize that they can come to us about anything, and we do whatever we can to try to help them solve their problems so that they can focus on building a better future for themselves, and THRIVE for the first time in a long time.
Some individuals have set lofty goals for themselves, and some come in saying they will just be with us for a little while until they can afford the short-term goals that they are after, but one thing is shared amongst all who join. A chance for the individual to make a positive change and get a step up in life.
Regardless of the individual and their goal, Strive Hive offers a secure environment where participants gain practical work experience without the added stress of housing insecurity.
