SB 2791 Act 208 passed to rebrand HYCF as Kawailoa Youth and Family Wellness Center under supervision of OYS. Hawai’i moves youth toward diversion and treatment and away from punitive justice models. Community organization partners (RYSE, Kinai ʻEha, Hale Kipa, and Kupa ʻAina) established on campus provide programming to provide an ecosystem of support for Hawaiʻi’s youth.
