Our 103 mentors hail from 43 colleges across the nation and 45 high schools—both public and private. With love for home, and as firm believers in the power of mentorship and higher education, our volunteers forge pathways for Hawaiʻi’s youth—themselves included—to enter an exciting and fulfilling next chapter of their lives.
