Youth Navigation

Pacific Islander youth support services & programs

Youth Navigation is a range of services and programs available to help our Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander young people get set up for a healthy, positive, culturally-grounded future.

What do we do?

Cultural Roots is a program for youth to learn and engage with Pacific Islander cultures across Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia through song, dance, chant, story-telling and more.

A community response to harm that focuses on healing and restoration.

Rather than being prosecuted with a crime through the punitive and harmful court system, RCP has been designed by and centers youth and community members to address their needs and provide them with community support. This work centers those most impacted by the criminal legal system, seeking to dismantle oppression and promote healing.

Our Youth Navigators are here to support NH/PI young people by providing basic needs support & resources, mentorship, and more.
