Our Purpose and Motto

Our name is an acrostic:
Youth Amusement Recreation Center • Hope, Integrity, Veritas (truth), Education

The purpose of the Youth ARC•HIVE is to support the spiritual, mental, and emotional health of all local youth. We do this by providing a safe and clean place for your youth groups to socialize and play together under the supervision of mature adults (you). Our aim is to enable you to speak truth into the lives of your young people. The decor and media in this facility is designed to spark good thoughtful conversation. It also serves as a "great vibe" party place for group parties and meetings of all sorts.

The HIVE seeks to support all existing youth organizations, missions and ministries of the MatSu Valley. Youth groups, education groups, clubs, homeschools and the general public can use the facility for their own meetings. Parents are invited to volunteer during our open hours.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization. If you had fun, thank us with a donation!
