About This Cause
FAMILY VISITATION PROGRAM: At the Hawaii Island YMCA we offer services to families in all variations. It is a place where children are the priority for the visits, a place where children can express their desire to visit with all parents involved in a place guaranteed to be free of domestic violence. Supervised Exchanges: Children will go from one parent to the other without the parents meeting. The exchange of the children is supervised and occurs at the FVC. Exchanges allow for children to visit a full day or overnight with the visiting parent. Supervised Visitation: Family Visitation Center staff provides supervision during the visits between children and parents. Visits are in a stable and supportive environment. Different levels of supervision are available including full direct, intermittent and beginning and ending supervision. Supervised Telephone/Video Visits: Family Visitation Center staff monitors telephone/video calls between children and parents. Children come to the Center with their custodial parent and the "visiting parent" calls the FVC. FVC associate stays with the children during their telephone/video call. JUNIOR LEADER PROGRAM: The YMCA connects kids to their potential, purpose and each other so they can shape the communities of tomorrow, today. The future success of children and teens is fostered by caring adults who help them feel confident, secure, imaginative and empowered in the present. That's why Y staff and volunteers are also mentors and role models, sharing a part of this important -- and inspiring -- responsibility in helping everyone to realize who they are and what they are capable of achieving. The Y's Junior Leader Program connects young people ages 12-18 with adult advisors to develop their leadership potential while fostering a culture of service. With the help of role models and mentors, these teens develop the skills they need to lead positive change in their communities. This program provides a unique opportunity for young people to develop leadership skills that can be used at home, school and in the community. This program helps young people build their skills, confidence and capacity for leading people of all ages. This program will provide young people the opportunity to volunteer and earn credit through internship programs and credit for volunteer hours that can be used toward scholarship applications and employment opportunities.
