Transportation Coordinator - Liliuokalani Center

Transportation Coordinator – Liliuokalani Center Overview

The Transportation Coordinator will organize and support the travel to and from Liliʻuokalani Center for kamaliʻi on Oʻahu and throughout the paeʻāina. They will be a critical part of the Engagement Center team, which is designed to offer resources and services to decrease barriers to access and provide the first and last connection during a program day for traveling kamaliʻi. Along with driving and supporting other drivers, the Coordinator will assist with all transportation logistics to include communication with kamaliʻi, ʻohana, community partners and Liliʻuokalani Center teammates about transportation logistics.

Most frequently transportation is related to shuttle services to and from LC for evening programming. Seasonally, transportation will also include the coordination of flights for kamaliʻi traveling to LC from neighboring islands. The Liliʻuokalani Center Transportation Coordinator position falls within the Kamaliʻi Recruitment and Wellness team and will work closely with the Liliʻuokalani Center leadership team to ensure safety and process standards are met.

Informed by a deep understanding of the adolescent experience and grounded in Hawaiian culture, the new Liliʻuokalani Center provides Native Hawaiian youth with opportunities to connect with peers and mentors, access supportive services, and explore pathways to passion, purpose, and prosperity. As the newest initiative of Liliʻuokalani Trust, the Center serves as a vibrant youth hub where kamaliʻi can learn, play, and build connections.

The Liliʻuokalani Center is a safe, pro‑social space where youth are inspired to pursue their dreams through the arts, sports, technology, life readiness, and wellness while receiving wrap‑around supports that help them reach their goals and thrive.
