Project Hawai’i, Inc. is a volunteer staffed nonprofit created to help homeless children succeed and escape their cycle of poverty. We are solely supported by public donations and community partnerships.
Currently we are in the process of opening a dormitory for our homeless teens to attend college.
The overall goal is to have the selected volunteer coordinate with the community for the needs of the youth living in the dormitory for the two year college term.
This will include securing donations, both monetary and in-kind, setting up/scheduling events and fundraisers with the community.
