Go check out our August Consortium Presenters Ku`ikahi Mediation Center, on our YouTube!

Presenter: Ku`ikahi Mediation Center
Founded in 1983 as a program of the Island of Hawaiʻi YMCA and becoming an independent organization in 2006, Kuʻikahi Mediation Center has a 43-year track record of providing conflict prevention and resolution services to our diverse communities. Kuʻikahi is the sole nonprofit mediation center serving East Hawaiʻi and one of only five in the state.

Kuʻikahi’s mission statement reads: “We empower people to come together—to talk and to listen, to explore options, and to find their own best solutions. To achieve this mission, we offer mediation, facilitation, and training to strengthen the ability of diverse individuals and groups to resolve interpersonal conflicts and community issues.”

Presentation Overview:
Executive Director Julie Mitchell will share how mediation is integral to Hawai‘i’s “Access to Justice” framework, which strives to ensure that all people have access to civil processes. Mediation saves time and money compared to litigation and provides a private, confidential way to resolve conflicts.

Unlike litigation, where control resides with the judge or jury, in mediation, the parties themselves control the outcome. Sample opportunities include: (1) domestic mediations to help parents put kids first after separations and divorces; (2) debt mediations for credit cards or medical bills to negotiate debt reduction, payment plans, or forgiveness due to hardship; and (3) landlord/tenant mediations to prevent eviction and homelessness.

Mediation services are provided either free of charge or on an affordable sliding scale, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.

Ho’iho’i I Ke Ola: ReEntry Summit

Going home Hawaii is so grateful to attend such wonderful summit in support of successful reentry and collaboration.

Rooted in Native Hawaiian values, the summit recognized that reentry is more than returning home—it is a journey of restoring dignity, reconnecting with ʻohana, rebuilding purpose, and strengthening communities. Centered on the themes Hoʻi i ke kaiāulu. Hoʻi i ka ʻohana. Hoʻi i ke ola. (Return to community. Return to family. Return to a life of purpose.)

Co-Hosted By ‘Ekolu’s Mea Nui & Project Vision Hawai’i & Made possible Through the Support Of The New Breath Foundation &n The Gerbode Foundation

“ʻAʻohe hana nui ke alu ʻia”—No task is too great when we work together— 🤙🏽💛
