"Working with the CTL students makes me realize that every person can make an impact. I know that when I was young, I don’t think I had as much awareness of what the needs of the state were and it really gives me a lot of inspiration and hope that our students are not only looking at making their grades or achieving their goals, but they’re looking even further beyond. They’re looking at how they can make Hawaii grow in a greater direction. And they’re not just thinking about it, they’re doing something about it, which I think is amazing."

“I volunteer for CTL because our future depends on nurturing the desire to lead in our young people and equipping them with the skills to do so successfully. Hawaii’s youth face unprecedented social, environmental, and economic issues that will impact our state for generations to come. We will need strong leaders to navigate the difficult decisions we will face, and ensure the preservation of the place we call home.”

“I volunteer because I believed the youth of this generation could benefit from the lessons my mentors taught me. This is a gifted generation with hidden talents that many leaders tend to overlook and I wanted to help them find their voice and be recognized. I quickly realized that these kids were actually teaching me about myself and so I want to continue doing my part."
