Mission & About Us

Hale Kipa provides opportunities and environments that strengthen and encourage youth, their families and communities to actualize their potential and social responsibility.

Since 1970, Hale Kipa has championed Hawai'i's youth and children. We provide youth outreach, independent living facilities, therapeutic foster care, a haven for runaways, and more. Our founders recognized a need for a nonprofit to step in to assist this deserving population and we are still doing that critical work today, on O'ahu, Kaua'i, and the Island of Hawai'i. Learn more about Hale Kipa's programs.

Role Overview

Hale Kipa is looking for an individual to provide outreach casework as part of a team servicing homeless, runaway, and street-identified youth and young adults on Oahu.

Team duties include street outreach (some late nights), island-wide, but mainly going where the need is, to connect with youth and young adults as well as responding to crisis calls. This component of the position requires being comfortable with doing street outreach, understanding and being able to function within street culture, and ultimately being able to approach and engage youth and young adults who may be involved in at-risk behaviors.
