Opportunity Youth

LT serves Opportunity Youth ages 16-26 as they transition from adolescence into young adulthood. Programs are offered throughout the pae ʻāina, with a special emphasis at LT Ranch on Hawai'i Island and Lydia House (an LT subsidiary) in downtown Honolulu. These healing places will provide youth with opportunities for hope, growth, and steady transition into the next chapters of their lives.

LT Ranch

Located in a lush, rural community on Hawaiʻi Island, LT Ranch offers day programs and in-residence camps for youth (13-18) who find themselves in challenging circumstances whether at school, work, or in their personal lives. The nature-based programs at LT Ranch promote meaningful connections and healing through ʻāina, animals, and art — all within an intimate and experiential ranch setting. Youth will benefit from extra support, growing their inherent potential, and identifying next steps for their self-defined success.

Interest forms for LT Ranch's 2024 Programs will be available soon. For more information, please contact Jill Beatty at jbeatty@onipaa.org
