We are on the road to building a fully staffed community center, A large group home for foster youth and housing for youth aging out of foster care on Big Island! Until we reach our goals, we could use your help! We are in need of sponsorship for our keiki and ‘ōpio! The majority of our youth are primarily from the foster system and/or have previously been (or currently are) homeless. Some families have been recently going through the transitional housing programs to get back on their feet, but are often dependent on programs like ours. The transitional housing staff states that meals they (or we) will provide, is often that child’s only meal for the day, so this is an important sponsorship for the youth who need us. Health Conscious, Organic Food, Drinks & Snacks Sponsor 1 mentee for a day $13 Sponsor 1 mentee for all 12 weeks $156 Sponsor a meal for all 50 mentees for one day $650 Sponsor all 50 mentees for 12 weeks $7,800 Transportation There are a lot of our ‘ōpio who would like to sign up for our program, but have no form of transportation. If there are any volunteers willing to pick up our mentees from Uluwini, Kealakehe or Kama’aina Hale, and/or churches/organizations that may have available transportation, please let us know how we can support our kids in getting to and from Kuleana at Holualoa junction. Also accepting donations for van rentals or purchases. If you were anyone you know would be interested in sponsoring a mentee (or a few,) or would like to generously donate to keep our program up and running, any and all donations are appreciated!

Volunteer
Volunteers Needed! If you would like to volunteer with our youth, please email us with your desired position and information on how you may be able to participate. We are also in need of a fundraising committee! Lunch will be provided for each meeting. Please let us know what role you might be interested in through the contact info below. Mentors Mentors will lead their own group of Mentees in their specific area of preference: Our Programs will include Hawaiian Arts, Art Therapy, Individual & Group Therapy, Life Skills & Abuse Prevention & Diversity Training. If you would like to be the guest speaker and/or lead any of these programs, please look over the options that best suit you! Therapeutic Mentors •Counselors •Youth Trained Specialists •Psychologists •Therapist •Social Work or Holistic Health Experts needed for group & one on one sessions with our mentees, as traumas may arise during group sessions. Art Mentors •Creative Writing (Poetry, Short Stories) •Photography •Dance •Music •Visual Arts (Mixed Media, Drawing, Painting.) Purpose: Using your specific gifts to help develop existing talents of the Mentees or teach them something for the first time. You do not have to be professionally trained, but must have experience with your art medium, as well as a passion for it. If you have experience in something else not listed please let us know. Group Mentors Mentors will guide their group of mentees into a lesson plan that will be provided by the day by each guest speaker. If trauma arises, one on one guidance may be needed. A special bond is created within your group and we find it quite important for our youth to find stability within their mentors. If you cannot make it each week, with the exception of one or two days, we ask that you take a lighter role as a support mentor Support Mentors Support mentors will learn the daily lesson plan, along with the students and offer support to the group mentor. But the primary focus of the Support Mentor is to interact with the mentees. Your role as a Support Mentor is vital because, during our program, issues may come up that the Mentees need to process. The Support Mentor lends an ear while the Mentor can continue leading.
