"Ohana and community are at the heart of my culture and the way I live my life. I want to professionally give back to my community through the Volunteer Coordinator position at Ho'ōla iā Mauiakama because I believe in the power of aloha, healing, and restoration—for both the land and people. I feel a deep sense of kuleana to help care for our 'āina and uplift our community. This position is not just a job to me—it's a calling to be part of Maui's healing and future." -Kelly M. Giso
Together we can help our Maui community heal, rebuild, and rise stronger.
