Residential Youth Services & Empowerment (RYSE)

Residential Youth Services & Empowerment (RYSE), a 501(c)(3) operates an access center where Hawaii's street youth are assessed and referred to appropriate support services.  Youth ages 14-24 have access to a safe temporary living space specifically designed to address their unique needs.  the access center offers coordinated programs and services to build a path towards reintegration into mainstream society.

Our mission is to provide a continuum of support and services that empowers Hawaii's street youth to move beyond homelessness.  We envision a community where there is no youth homelessness.
