YouthBuild Honolulu

Zaylia Hagi

I dropped out during my junior year of high school to care for a family member. I thought my education would just end there but a family friend told me about the youth program so I entered August 2021. My case managers worked with me and never gave up on me. I finished all of my high school diploma tests by December 2021 and got my office administration and technology certification by September 2021. Being in the program has not only helped me graduate and extend my education and job opportunities, but it helped me to see that as long as you set your mind to it you can accomplish anything.
