Representatives from our Kīʻapu, Ke Kama Pono, and Kupa ʻAina programs traveled over 4,000 miles to Washington D.C. to attend the Coalition for Juvenile Justice annual conference. Our President/CEO Shawn Kana'iaupuni, PhD. sits on their Executive Board as a Western Regional Representative, and is the only member from Hawai'i. The program representatives attended meetings with congressional delegates and gained insightful ʻike (knowledge) to bring back to their programs. The conference addressed questions like, “How can systems collaborate with one another to more holistically address young people’s needs?” and “How can we restructure current policies and practices to ensure young people receive appropriate services and support?” Our programs at #PIDF are not only catered to young keiki at the infant and preschool level, but we also have these fantastic programs that are catered to service youth (14-24). Kīʻapu is our workforce development program offering the tools and support for youth to enter workforce and educational pathways. Ke Kama Pono is our safehouse program helping to reunite adjudicated male juvenile offenders with their families and prepare them for future success. Kupa ʻAina, as some of you may know, is our sustainable farm in East Oʻahu. Within the farm, they host programs like Hoʻokanaka Cultural Diversion Program and Hoʻokahua ʻĀina and Culture-Based Workforce Development Program. Sending out a big mahalo on this #AlohaFriday and #FlashbackFriday to our program representatives for attending this conference, and bringing bright ideas back to our lāhui. #youthjustice #youthjusticeinhawaii
