Mia Sakasegawa

With nearly a decade of experience working closely with students in Hawai‘i at both the high school and college levels, Founder and CEO Mia Sakasegawa MBA MSP, has observed a consistent trend among local students. Particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic, there has been a notable increase in the number of students who lack clarity regarding their post-high school graduation plans. Recognizing this pressing need, the Ahonui Foundation aims to establish a platform that enables students to identify their existing skills and align them with potential career paths, thereby facilitating informed planning and the setting of realistic goals.

Our Volunteers

Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization. They come from all walks of life and are united in their dedication to serving Hawaii's youth. Whether it's mentoring, tutoring, or organizing events, our volunteers play a critical role in helping us achieve our mission.
