“All it takes is to impact one child and it is worth it, our program will succeed”

- Aaron Hoff

Our program is driven by YOU - our supporters, our encouragers and our Ohana. The beauty of this foundation is in the way that an international community has united to serve the children of a single, tiny island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

We are a mission driven non-profit

We are a community that stands for health and exists to empower people to thrive. Kids, teens, adults all have a purpose within our community.

The problem

Hawai’i hosts one of the largest drug and alcohol abuse problems in the United States. Suicide, depression, and addiction are byproducts of the substance abuse and are devastating our culture, communities, and kids. Every kid could be exposed to this problem. We have solutions to help. 

  • 23 suicides on Kaua’i in 2020

  • 16% of young adults are neither working nor in school

  • 12% of students do not graduate high school

  • 32% of driving deaths on Kaua’i include alcohol

The Solution

Our solution to substance abuse begins with providing a safe place where kids know they are loved.

  1. Create the environment

    We create a sober space where healthy is the norm, not the exception.

  2. Lower the barrier to entry

    Our programs are free for kids because finances should never limit participation. 

  3. Prioritize healthy relationships

    We create community context that allows healing, growth and development. 

  4. Provide resources

    We provide resources for kids and adults in our programs to be successful in every area of their life.
