Job Description:
Who We Are Hively, derived from 'lively' and 'hive', is a
thriving community full of life and energy. Hively's mission is to
strengthen Alameda County families so that everyone in our
community can thrive. Hively supports local families through child
care stipends and referrals, parent education and family classes,
mental health services and daily essentials (diapers, clothing,
etc). This past year, we served over 2,000 local families and
children seeking child care referrals and served 975 child care
providers. We are fueled by our passion for strengthening thousands
of families, regardless of ability to pay. While the pandemic
threatened the very existence of many child care businesses, we
were ready to answer this challenge by offering extra support to
child care providers and local families, from masks and gloves to
additional subsidies. California Assembly person Rebecca
Bauer-Kahan recognized our outstanding work during the pandemic and
awarded Hively with a California Nonprofit of the Year Award.
