Mentors DO Make a Difference!!!

Mentors are

  • People of Positive Influence on Young People's Lives
  • Speak Into the Lives of Youth - Communicators!!
  • Always Open to Growth: Mentor Training Provided
  • Living Examples of Life - Drug Free
  • Pass a police records check (no DUIs, felonies, sex crimes, and alcohol or substance abuse within the last 5 years).
  • 2 favorable character references.
  • Not an immediate family member or living in the same household.
  • Same gender, similar interest, and close geographical location.

We may not be able to resolve all the problems regarding our high school youth in Hawaii, but we sure can make a difference if we all work together as a team. Help us, help the youth in our community.
