The program provides a “best practice” parenting course which includes the opportunity for individual and family counseling, parental guidance, intake assessment, case coordination, management, & outreach.

Truancy Prevention Program

This program aims to connect with youth at risk of becoming truant. We provide a wide range of services to youth and families to stop or prevent the behavior. The target group of middle school‐age students is especially susceptible to engaging in truancy, making preventative measures critical.

Youth Development & Life Skills Activities

Our Youth Development and Life Skills Activities are culturally appropriate and incorporate the input from community members. The staff provide mentoring, recreation, and life skill education activities. The program aims to strengthen youth’s resistance to gang activity, drugs and school failure through recreational, social development and other activities.

The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Youth Center at SWCC provides Kalihi youth with a safe and supervised place to go after school. The free After School Program offers an encouraging environment for homework completion and access to computers as well as art, skill building, and recreational activities. The program is open to youth ages 7-21, Monday through Friday. All youth must be registered to participate in any of the after-school activities and specialized groups.
