Programs
Discover how you can get involved and make a difference
At Hive, our mission is to improve coordination and collaboration in the farmed animal movement through cultivating impact-focused communities. We believe in the power of connection, information, and action. That's why we've developed three core programs.
Our core programs
Slack
The Hive Slack is a vibrant community where highly engaged farmed animal advocates can connect, discuss topics, and find support. The moderated platform includes over 2000+ members and 90 public channels. Whether you are looking for a job, advice, or collaborators, we have a space for you.
Newsletter
Our newsletter aims to keep advocates informed with the latest updates, research, and opportunities in the movement. Carefully curated by our team and open to community contributions, it comes to your inbox twice a month so you don’t miss anything important.
Events
Hosted by the Hive team, our events give advocates an opportunity to have live, synchronous interactions. Most of our events are virtual, though we will host in hub cities and during conferences to bring the Hive Community together.
We have several other programs, including our Resources , Strategically Facilitated Connections, and AI & Animals work. If you want to learn more about them, please contact us at hello@joinhive.org .
Who our programs serve
The Hive Network reaches many different groups of individuals, including:
Professional farmed animal advocates
Founders of impactful projects and charities
Industry professionals looking to contribute to the movement
Engaged advocates that want to develop their skills or network
