WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOUTH GOT TO LEARN HOW THEIR CITIES WORK, HOW DECISIONS ARE MADE, AND HOW TO ENGAGE?
We envision cities where youth are actively involved in civic planning, shaping, and decision-making. A youth-engaged city is a resilient, sustainable, and livable city—not only for young people, but for all current and future generations.
CityHive runs cohort-based programs and one-off workshops & events in various municipalities to provide opportunities for youth to learn about their city from local decision-makers and leaders. We collaborate with city staff, elected officials, and community-based organizations to create place-based and relevant programming that speaks to local issues and challenges.
Classroom Workshops
Bookable workshops available to high school classroom teachers with a focus on learning about cities and engagement in a fun and hands-on way.
Workshops & Events
Reaching youth “where they’re at” with fun, informative, and hands-on workshops and events.
Cohort Programs
