  • Program 2 [2020]

    CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP SERIES. HAWAII RISE FOUNDATION HOSTS A WIDE VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS FOR THE YOUTH CHALLENGE ACADEMY CADETS. THE YOUTH IN THIS PROGRAM COME FROM TROUBLED FAMILIES AND DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS, AND THEY USUALLY LACK INTERPERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS THAT ARE CRUCIAL TO SUCCEED IN ADULTHOOD.

THESE SKILLS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT, RESUME BUILDING, FINANCIAL WELLNESS, INTERVIEW PRACTICE AND PREPARATION, CULTURAL IDENTITY AWARENESS, AND MANY MORE. THE YOUTH IN THE ACADEMY ARE ABLE TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WITH WHOM THEY CAN TRUST. THE CADETS HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO HAWAII TV PERSONALITIES PASHYN AND WENDY SANTOS, WHO PUT ON A MOTIVATIONAL GUEST SPEAKER WORKSHOP, INTERACTING WITH THE YOUTH AND PRESENTING ON "HONORING OUR PAST, NAVIGATING OUR PRESENT, AND EMPOWERING OUR FUTURE". THE YOUTH WERE ABLE TO HONOR THEIR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE IDENTITIES AND CONNECT WITH THEIR INNER SELVES.
