On June 9th, some of our East Hawai‘i teen participants attended a “Big Futures” luncheon. Made possible by funding from the Freeman Foundation, this lunch and learn focused on college awareness, celebrated the 2018 graduates and recognized our School-Based Big Brother of the Year Albert Zuniga of Keaau High School! It has been our privilege to work with such amazing youth like Albert who has been a Big Brother for three years at our Keaau site. Albert received a scholarship courtesy of Aloha Shoyu & Bottling.
