Who We Are
It takes a village to raise a child is a proverb, which means that it takes an entire community of different people interacting with children in order for children to experience and grow in a safe environment. The villages would look out for the children to ensure their development & wellbeing.
At Family Programs Hawaii, it is our mission to be that village for children are Hawaii’s most valuable resource. They are our future. Family Programs Hawaii is a unique non-profit agency remaining true to its origins of providing quality care to the children of Hawaii. Our goal is that every child in Hawaii has the opportunity to reach his or her full potential – especially children who are in or may become involved in foster care.

Our Story
Family Programs Hawaii is a 501(c)(3) social service agency dedicated to strengthening children and families who are at risk or involved in the child welfare system through high-quality prevention, support, and transition services. Family Programs Hawaii provides services to prevent children from entering foster care; supports children and families already involved in the foster care system; and assists youth transitioning out of foster care. We currently have approximately 60 employees in our Honolulu office and a receiving home in Maili.
We have provided quality social services in Hawaii since 2004. Since then, we have grown, adding a community mental health clinic, several large state and federal contracts, as well as numerous smaller grant-funded programs to the original Enhancements program for foster youth and Long Term Foster Care services. Improving the lives of children and families especially those involved in the Child Welfare System is central to us. Family Programs Hawaii strengthens families and provides services to all children, especially those from the child welfare system including supporting foster parents who care for them.
