Since I signed up from volunteering I've had nothing but a great experience, even the founder called me personally to discuss my interest. I've felt really included and it has motivated me to push through and do more. The energy the members of this organization has is undoubtedly amazing.

Ho'ola Nā Puaʻs staff is a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers whose vision it is to succeed in educating, exposing, rescuing, and restoring those affected by human trafficking. They are very focused and professional. Believing they do a fabulous job on every level, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an organization in which they can volunteer their time and services. I feel very fortunate to work with them, and hope in the future that I can be of more service to this worthwhile critical cause.

What a dedicated group of individuals who volunteer there time with Ho'ola Na Pua. They sacrifice many hours of their work week to get this group home started and running. What a great group of active people in the community to volunteer with. They care about what you do and want to help each volunteer to grow to reach their full potential.

I have been involved in non-profit work since I was 4 years old. The heart and soul of Ho'ola Na Pua is life changing. The selflessness and devotion of the volunteers is truly inspirational. Regardless of your skill set or talent, we can use your help. The sex trafficking of minors in Hawaii can not be stopped without community awareness and involvement. We need your help. Whether its donating, fundraising, event planning, educating, administrative work, marketing, or assisting with community events; there is something for everyone. You will not regret it!

The development of this organization has been amazing. The dedicated professionals involved have created awareness of the depth of sex trafficking on many levels of the community to thousands of people. The core goal to build a home to restore the lives of the domestic minor survivors of this crime has raised a response from people who want to support this effort in many ways. The work ahead is daunting and this has energized many talented professionals who want to be a part of this huge effort.
Three years ago I didn't even know sex trafficking of minors was an issue in Honolulu. Now I am aware and determined to be a part of doing whatever I can to change this issue in our state.

Ho'ola Na Pua is an organization that has the complete vision of what is need to rescue underage girls from sex trafficking as well as what needs to be done to prevent it & stop it from continuing. The heart of the organization is amazing. The volunteers are completely selfless & are working night & day to educate, rescue, restore, legislate & research this issue. I highly recommend getting involved with this organization. Whether its donating, fundraising, event planning, educating, administrative work, marketing, etc. - whatever your skill set is, Ho'ola Na Pua can use your help. Knowing you did something that rescued someone's life or prevented someone from being dragged into the unthinkable lifestyle is so rewarding...it truly is PRICELESS!

Such an amazing group of dedicated volunteers working towards a very noble cause. Ho'ola Na Pua not only aims to rescue and restore victims of sex trafficking, but raises awareness of the reality of sex trafficking through educational and awareness programs in our local community.
