The Organization
Hale Kipa is a well established and well reputed Hawaiʻi nonprofit serving young people in crisis. Among its programs is a girls' residential home for high-at-risk youth, where the girls live on site and the staff carry them through the hardest stretch of their lives. Venus Rosete Medeiros is the organization's President.
The Engagement
Michele worked with Venus Rosete Medeiros and her team in implementing the Brave & Beautiful volumes as an empowerment resource for the girls in their care. Kaui Burgess, who works with the girls on confidence and public speaking, invited Michele to speak in one of her sessions on dreaming big for their lives with Brave Purpose.
The Outcome
Brave & Beautiful remains in ongoing use inside the residential program, and Michele's relationship with Hale Kipa continues. Michele deeply honors and champions Hale Kipa's vision and community impact, and holds real respect for the work they do in the community.
