Youth Mentoring in Maui

Forge Youth Mentoring strives to connect generations to restore hope in our communities and to help keiki discover and pursue their full potential. We accomplish this by bringing two worlds together through the power of mentorship. Adult mentors have the opportunity to learn from and pour into young people who desperately WANT and need their support. Through mentoring, keiki are able to overcome adversity to pursue their dreams, goals, and passions.

Mentoring Keiki thanks to a Partnership with Village of Hope

Bud White, Volunteer Chapter Director for Maui

Nestor Fontanilla, Community Coordinator

FORGE Youth Mentoring launched on Maui in 2020, right in the middle of the COVID pandemic, thanks to a partnership with Village of Hope Maui and Bud White, a great former mentor who moved from the mainland years ago. Through VOH and Bud's volunteering, we've been able to serve many keiki on the island who are in the foster care system. This has been an incredible journey of helping kids in great need and we look forward to serving all keiki in need of a mentor.

We've also built a great connection and partnership with Nestor Fontanilla, who runs Royal Family Kids Camp Maui. He's greatly connected with many churches in the area as well as agencies, and has joined our volunteer team as our Community Coordinator. He's already been been developing new partnerships and recruiting participants.
