Dreaming of Aloha Achievement Program
AN ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.
Our Dreaming of Aloha Achievement Program is a chance for our youth to experience and be engulfed in the surf mecca of the world. Hawaii is a magical place that we get to share with a group of kids that earn an opportunity to participate in this unique program through community service, good behavior in their programs, maintaining good grades, and more.
It’s not just a trip to Hawaii, it’s a chance of a lifetime to connect with youth in similar situations and similar life challenges, an opportunity to volunteer with Mauli Ola Foundation for a day, a non-profit dedicated to serving youth with Cystic Fibrosis. It’s a chance to participate in the opening of the Eddie Aikau ceremonies, learn more about Hawaiian culture, and so many things that can’t be put into words.
Hanai Mentoring Program
BUILD A LASTING BOND
What is Hanai? In Polynesian culture, Hanai is an informal adoption into a family. Our Hanai program provides an awesome opportunity for our volunteers to connect with and develop relationships with our youth on a more personal and consistent basis. Each group meets monthly (on a Saturday or Sunday) with the same set of volunteers and youth throughout the season. Some examples of monthly Hanai outings in the past include: paddle boarding, the aquarium, surf days, rock climbing, trampoline parks, and hiking. We love to get the youth we work with outside, active, and interested in giving back to the community. More importantly, we strive to provide a consistent and dependable Hanai community that these youth learn they can count on and turn to for support. Our Hanai volunteers have an immeasurable impact on our youth.
