Hawaii News Now: “After funding loss, nonprofit that serves homeless youth turns to community for help.?

Six RYSE youth are taking their next steps toward college, career training and professional certifications with support from the IMUA Scholarship Program, now in its second year.
Each recipient received a $1,000 scholarship, with this year’s students pursuing everything from HVAC and Fire & Environmental Emergency Response training to college studies and the performing arts

A little paint, a lot of helping hands, and one BIG step closer to home.

On August 8, Hale Koko was buzzing with activity as community partners and volunteers came together for a Paint Party to help prepare RYSE’s newest housing property for young adults and young families aging out of foster care.

At RYSE, we know that ending homelessness requires more than a roof overhead, it requires community. That’s why we’re so grateful for partners like Bluewater Mission, a nondenominational church in Honolulu whose commitment to walking alongside young people continues to make a lasting impact.
