"I've been with the HIVE for a month now as an operations intern. The HIVE at Spring Point was founded to amplify voice, choice and opportunity for young people and supports a collection of organizations and experts that focus on positive youth development. I'm providing administrative support by managing the front desk, scheduling events and meetings, coordinating outside vendors, organizing the space and files as needed, etc. The data management and interpersonal skills I learned from Hopeworks has made my transition into this working space a breeze. Not only that, the warm environment and team here have made me feel welcomed and greatly supported. I am excited for the future projects and skills I'll be developing here." -Monica
