I tutored kids in job corps and it is an essential program here on the Oregon coast for kids who face homelessness after high school, refugees, and kids aging out of foster care. Our program here blends elements of Pacific Islander culture about what it means to be a man, pre-apprentice training to enter union jobs, and a whole host of lifeskills learned by living in a structured community with others.

At graduation, they perform a haka warrior dance and it is a transformative experience.

This program must be saved.
