Annually we have dozens of youth participate in a large array of sports.
Teen Monitoring
Teens are the largest growing homeless population in Hawai’i. Over 150 teens live in the Waikiki streets.
Our programs provide resources and stability to put their lives back on track to success.
Our year-round programs teach them to find their passion while building life skills and self-esteem
Resources & Job Training
Project Hawai’i volunteers meet regularly with our homeless teens for counseling and to help them identify short and long-term goals to their success. We assist them in developing and carrying out their plans. Each teen’s situation is unique so we work with the individual to meet their specific needs.
Employment Assistance
We help provide work clothes and, in some cases, a skateboard or scooter to help get them there. We support them and provide counseling to assist them in overcoming the challenges of working and creating financial budgets. It’s amazing to see their confidence and pride when they’re held accountable for their own goals.
We have partnerships with different companies across the islands to conduct our workshops, including the Queen Kapiolani Hotel, Wiki Fresh, Old Navy, and Target. The results of their partnerships have allowed our teens to have job training, interview skills, create resumes, and secure employment.

College Dormitory Project
Our newest development is our college dormitory, opening in the Fall of 2024. We have purchased a facility on the Big Island, 5.5 miles from the University and Community College to house 12 girls for 2 years each.
Being homeless is not the ideal situation to attend college; therefore, most won’t even consider the opportunity. Our program is designed to allow the teens to live in the dorms, free of charge, while they attend a full-schedule routine to obtain their chosen degree.
These teens will also be enrolled in on-site life and social skills workshops, employment training, and counseling.
Each girl will have a shared room, transportation to and from the campus, meals, all-supportive hygiene/room support, and counseling. The dormitory is spacious with a large kitchen, 2 separate lounge areas, and a large outdoor gathering place.
