We welcome you to join our journey with this new program we are introducing to the homeless and poverty stricken children we provide services to. Our jr. leadership program helps these youth learn the proper life and social skills as well as leadership and guidance skills to help them succeed.
Our program is truly unique, as we tailor the program for each child as an individual. We are able to work one on one and create individual goals for success!
Project Hawai’i, Inc. Jr. Leader Program is designed to allow the children between 10-12 years old graduate from a younger camper to one with more responsibility. This program offers workshops that teach them to take leadership of themselves while helping the younger ones develop their skills. Our jr. leaders are typically those who have been with us since their younger years and have learned the importance of education and learning to follow instructions.
This age group is one of the most difficult pivots in a child's life. Our children are not raised in a typical environment, often being left behind with the proper social skills and learning to accept more responsibility.
This is the typical age of a homeless child when they
start to drop out of school.
With proper financial support, this program can grow from being a pilot program to a full-enrollment program. We do have the capacity to enroll 24 jr. leaders per session, and even expand our time with them.
The cost to sponsor a jr. leader for a week/9 days is $1,850/$2,800.
We are seeking companies that would like to make a commitment to sponsor this program for another 3 years.
Updates/Success
We are so grateful to have had this jr. leader program start off with such a wonderful sponsorship from Heald Packard Enterprise that allowed us to continue to grow into what it is now.
As a leadership program we have been able to expand to add more days which allow for more training, and we are working on introducing an entire week of STEM.
MAUI EXPANSION 2021! We have expanded to Maui with the support of the Shane Victorino Foundation Sponsorship.
SUCCESS: Some of our jr. leaders are now graduating high school and going on to college! We have a few going into culinary school, one with a basketball scholarship. One just graduated military academy and going to be a firefighter.
Mahalo to HPE for being the start of our program!
Mahalo to Shane Victorino and family for being the start of our program!
