HODG is a very unique community. It's kind of like a boy/girl scouts for adults. It's about connection with one another, about hanging out, and doing whatever we can to make the world better. It is also made up of mostly people for whom our systems work. All too often those people don't get involved in civic actions. HODG educates them and organizes them to be a part of the solutions!
