Maui Nui Youth Futures Hui UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

The Maui Nui Youth Futures Hui continues with a focus on the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Learn about the progress and hurdles of indigenous in 2024 and discuss how we can learn from indigenous voices across the world. The Hui is bringing critical global conversations into context here at home in Maui County, and equipping our youth with the tools to build a sustainable and just world.

We are inviting youth from 12 years old to 25 years old from across Maui County to join the Maui Nui Youth Futures Hui, an innovative program designed with the goal of increasing youth involvement and encouraging proactive action towards fostering a sustainable Maui County. By bringing together young minds from across our community, the Hui serves as a dynamic platform for dialogue, learning and collaboration on critical sustainability and solidarity issues.

Through workshops, discussions and hands-on project, participants are empowered to take meaningful steps toward creating a more resilient and environmentally conscious County. Our mission is to cultivate a generation of informed leaders who are ready to tackle the challenges of tomorrow with creativity, courage and a deep commitment to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of Maui Nui.

Join us for a transformative event aimed at empowering our youth with insights from the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Explore how global indigenous dialogues can influence and inspire local action and advocacy. Immerse yourself in a discussion that bridges international perspectives with our community's aspirations, fostering a generation of globally aware and locally engaged leaders.
