Marimed Foundation is a nonprofit corporation with a long history of serving Hawaii and the Pacific; growing and changing to meet the needs of our communities. Established in Hawai`i in 1984, Marimed Foundation is a IRS 501(c)(3) public charity. We operate experiential-based therapy, education, vocational, and community programs from our Kāne’ohe and Kahalu`u campuses to meet the needs of Hawai`i youth, adults, families and communities.
Our Mission:

Marimed delivers ocean and land-based learning experiences that empower youth, adults and families and strengthen communities. At the core of each of these programs is our 96’ tall-ship, SSV MAKANI OLU, which serves as a platform for learning activities, skills-building, vocational training, and extraordinary — potentially transformational — experiences. Guiding our services are our program graduates, families, agencies, staff and trustees.
