Hawaii Launches Mobile-Friendly YouthBuild Honolulu Website

Honolulu young people have a new tool to help them obtain important occupational skills while transforming their own community. The City Department of Community Services Work Hawaii Division proudly announces the launch of the YouthBuild Honolulu website at: youthbuildhonolulu.org.

“We are excited about our new website and the fact that we will be able to reach our young people where they are: online.” said Leina’ala Nakamura, Assistant Administrator of the Work Hawaii Division.

The new mobile-friendly website offers a wealth of information about the program including application and eligibility requirements, a photo gallery to showcase the efforts of the students in the program as well as featured student success stories. Content will be updated on a regular basis with news, events, graduations, open enrollment, and other exciting happenings. Visitors are encouraged to explore the website and contact YouthBuild with any questions at: youthbuildhonolulu.org/about-us/contact.

The YouthBuild Honolulu website was created in partnership with Hawaii Information Consortium, LLC, the official Internet portal manager of eHawaii.gov.
