Pacific Island Youth Empowerment Program (PIYE)

A mentoring, tutoring, and leadership based program to empower our Pacific Islander students.

Our Mission, Vision & Purpose

Our program aims to provide Pacific Islander (PI) high school students with academic support, mental health resources, and social and emotional support. We believe that these efforts will lead to positive outcomes for students regarding their overall well-being and academic success. We envision providing leadership development and advocacy opportunities that are specific to student's needs and that will enable them to become leaders in their communities.

  • We will provide academic tutoring and homework help to improve students' academic performance.

  • Each student will be paired with a mentor who will provide guidance and support, including career exploration and college readiness.

  • We will provide cultural identity workshops and activities to help students connect with their culture and identity.

  • We will provide opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and take on leadership roles within the program and their communities.

  • We will empower students to advocate for themselves and their communities through workshops and training.

  • We will provide mental health resources and support to address the unique mental health needs of Pacific Islander youth.
