Help create a Hub DC – @HubDC
Hub DC will serve as a co-working space and social business incubator, as well as a platform to bridge divides – in generations, income levels and sectors. Hub World was founded in 2002, and there are currently 18 Hubs in cities around the world. Each Hub has its own distinct flavor, but all are united by the drive to build a robust global community of people poised to tackle social challenges.
