Mission and Goals
The driving force of any community organization is the people it serves. Hawaii Youth Services Network hopes to build partnerships with youth serving
agencies statewide to help these agencies share in their knowledge and provide a broad range of services for the youth.

Our Mission
To promote the well being of youth and strengthening of families and communities by providing leadership, encouraging
collaboration and creating partnerships statewide.
Children and youth live in our communities. We must recognize them and value them as community assets and include
them in decisions that affect their lives in communities, school systems, churches and in our public-policy decision-making.
We must meaningfully engage youth in all
aspects of community life.
Through recreation, education, prevention, treatment, outreach, counseling and shelter programs, HYSN supports youth and families and seeks
to build stronger communities.
Through our shared advocacy on behalf of youth, HYSN seeks to educate our communities and our decision-makers.
Through our
networking, HYSN seeks to build collaborations that provide for increased effectiveness and decreased costs of youth services.
