The Ohana Project has a true passion for helping today's at risk young adults succeed in life. It's always about the youth they serve, not them.

I have seen them guide young adults from homelessness to their first apartments. From unemployed to working a full-time job. I have seen them take on the role of a parent that a lot of these young adults need. Teaching them to cook, file taxes, even drive. They invite these young adults in, and give them a semblance of family through the genuine care in their work.

The Ohana Project makes a difference.

I love the Ohana Project!
We're talking about a non-profit not concerned about money or noteriety, but sincerely cares for youth. A non-profit willing to play the background for free to help youth!
I am a foster alumni, and as a foster kid I was rarely ever told of my strengths. Of my potential. Guided according to what I could do best. But Ohana saw!
They encouraged me and lifted me up.
I have witnessed how their genuine concern keeps them up late nights, has them travel long distances, and give of their own pockets to help youth who aren't fortunate enough to have strong, or any, biological connections.
They are more then a business. More then a non-profit. They cover all the basis with one motivating factor... Helping youth. Their testimonies about their child hoods spans generations and causes them to connect with alumns of all ages.
They have the heart.
The have the experience. The patience.
My life was changed just in meeting them and for this I thank God.
5 stars for the Ohana Project!
