At Ohana one of our pillars is Faith and Community Development. We believe this is best developed through having at least one significan relationship in the lives of the children we serve. Research shows that children who have experienced trauma, can experience healing through being able to identify at least one adult relationship. It is through this caring and consistent adult relationship that children can strengthen their resilience and begin to have hope for a better future.

The unfortunate reality is that many children in the foster care system do not have the same relational capital that the majority of people have. This means as kids continue to age and exit the foster care system they will not have someone to spend the holidays and life milestones with. Becoming a mentor can change the world for one of our youth as they mature into adulthood. If you're interested in becoming a mentor, please see Requirements and Next Steps.
