🌟 Ho‘ohana Whoo – Mentorship & Leadership Development Program
🎯 Objective
To provide transformational mentorship opportunities across Ho‘ohana Whoo’s programs—empowering individuals with the tools, support, and confidence to step into leadership, self-employment, creative expression, and community care through intentional guidance, hands-on skill-building, and spiritual alignment.
🧩 Problems Addressed
🚫 Many youth and adults lack consistent, values-based guidance or role models 🎓 Schools and workforce programs often miss emotional, creative, or spiritual growth 🛠️ People with talent and purpose often lack the structure or support to thrive 🧭 Emerging leaders in the pedicab world (and beyond) need space to be seen, trained, and celebrated 🧱 Traditional mentorship is often top-down, not collaborative or culturally rooted 💡 Solutions
Offer mentorship pathways across pedicab driving, mechanics, vending, marketing, event planning, safety services, and healing arts Match mentees with mentors based on archetypes, numerology, learning style, lived experience, and aligned goals Provide one-on-one guidance, structured sessions, hands-on training, and peer leadership circles Host monthly mentorship meetups, workshops, and reflection spaces Integrate tracking, journaling, certification, and celebration rituals to mark growth Collaborate with schools, re-entry programs, shelters, and creative hubs to engage mentees with barriers to traditional opportunities 🔄 How It Works
