2025 Annual Report
Aloha,
2025 was a year of momentum, courage, and collective action. At Hawaiʻi Friends of Restorative Justice (HFRJ), we continued to grow a community committed to healing harm, expanding opportunity, and reimagining justice in Hawaiʻi.
From celebrating parole completion at Aliʻiōlani Hale to expanding educational opportunities for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women to training new Huikahi Reentry Circle facilitators and advocating for housing and prevention over incarceration, our work remains rooted in human dignity, reconciliation, and community-led solutions. We also spoke out — locally and nationally — when policies and practices strayed from our shared values of justice and compassion.
This report reflects what is possible when community members — advocates, educators, donors and more — work side by side. Mahalo for being part of the HFRJ community and affirming that transformation, both personal and systematic, is within reach.
