Mission Statement
To inspire and enable Big Island Youth to be productive and responsible citizens, through quality programs in a safe and caring environment.
TEENSupreme Program Goal
Provide a safe place for teens to learn and grow, form ongoing healthy relationships with caring adult professionals, and offer activities that promote a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and empowerment.
Leah Warren, a 6th grader at Keaʻau Middle School was initially quiet, shy and reserved. In time, she became happier, outgoing and a role model to other members. Her consistent attendance in the academic program resulted in increased school performance. Through the TEENSupreme Program, Leah was able to develop and sustain positive relationships with peers and grow in her educational, social and emotional competencies.
