\u201cBest Buddies has made a big impact in my life because I didn\u2019t have a lot of friends and being a part of the college chapter helps me to make new friends and allows me to be myself\u201d, he says.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In June 2020, Ho\u2019opi\u2019ookalani accomplished his biggest goal as a college student: to receive his Academic Subject Certificate in Writing (creative track) at Leeward Community College. In addition, he serves as a Best Buddies of Hawai’i O’ahu Advisory Board member and has recently attended an Ambassador training on speech essentials and sharing his story. We are extremely proud of him and can\u2019t wait to see the amazing things he will do in the future.<\/p>\n
Thank you to all our amazing Ambassadors in Hawaii! You all have come a long way and we look forward to watching you support your communities in the coming year!<\/p>\n
If you are interested in sharing your mission moments, the ways in which Best Buddies has changed your life, or would like to attend an ambassador training, email Program Supervisor Elizabeth Mahoe at ElizabethMahoe@bestbuddies.org<\/a><\/span> for more details.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
