Hōkūpa‘a Collaborative Youth Forum held in West Hawai‘i

In May 2015 six WHMC-trained peer mediators joined 18 other West Hawai'i youth at the Hokupa'a Youth Forum. The event brings together stakeholders from all over the state to discuss how to best help youth reach their full potential. Participating students are nominated by their schools and it was great that such a high percentage of them were peer mediators.
