“to live and thrive by means of your work”
Honolulu, Wahiawa, Waipahu (Oahu), Hilo and Kona (Hawaii)
The Ola I Ka Hana program stresses the value of education and importance of work experience for Hawaii’s youth, and offers free services to at-risk youth. Each participant works with a Youth Specialist to develop an individualized assessment and service strategy, which addresses educational goals, job skills, and employability.
Ola I Ka Hana serves at-risk youth from low-income families, ages 14-21, who are out of school. Participants receive job readiness training sessions to focus on resume development, job search and interviewing skills, job applications and career interests. Youth also have the opportunity to have mentors, or paid internships through this program.
