RYSE Blessing

On Saturday, June 2, RYSE received the blessing of Kahu Kaleo Patterson. RYSE is ready to fulfill our mission of providing a safe haven for Hawaii’s street youth, where they will be empowered to make positive change.

As the sun shone down on the windward side of Oahu, there were big smiles and much gratitude for all those in the community who worked to make this happen.  What was once a dream is now a reality.  Mahalo to Kahu Patterson for his blessing on this center and those who will live and work here.  For referrals or intake, please contact RYSE at info@ryse.flywheelstaging.com.

A Place to Belong, A Future to Build

A place to land can change everything. For youth experiencing housing insecurity in Waianae or transitioning out of the foster system, that place is taking shape through RYSE (Residential Youth Services & Empowerment).

On The Run And Undercounted, Homeless Youth Try Hard To Stay Out of Sight

By official counts, just a handful of homeless teens live on the streets of Hawaiʻi. Those who try to help them suggest that’s all wrong, that there are many more — perhaps 150 doing their best not to be counted.

They hide in tents at beach parks. On a friend or stranger’s couch. Far back in the valleys that stretch out of towns.
