Hear it from us

I love working with Kama’aina Kids! They gave me a workplace where I could start from the bottom and move up in the field. I was given the opportunity to become a Teacher and they helped me achieve this goal. I have been working with Kamaaina kids for 11 years and I am now a Director. I love leading my Team and being able to support them!
