About SHYLI
The Sustainable Hawai’i Youth Leadership Initiative emerged from 17-year old Hawaiian youth Wainani Traub’s dream for her island. Last summer Wai served as Hawaii’s first youth delegate to the Stone Soup Leadership Institute’s 7th Youth Leadership Summit for Sustainable Development. She returned with a vision and shared her dreams with her school, West Hawai’i Explorations Academy’s Green Team. She shared them at the APEC Voices of the Future Summit.
