MARIMED FOUNDATION FOR ISLAND HEALTH CARE TRAINING

Marimed Foundation is an active 501(c)(3) public charity (established 1984) based in Kāne'ohe, Hawai‘i, that operates maritime‑centered experiential education, vocational training, and residential programs. Its programs are built around the organization’s sailing school vessel, SSV Makani Olu, and focus on workforce readiness, leadership, and therapeutic supports for youth and community participants. In the last 2–3 years Marimed has continued to operate and expand maritime career pathways and youth apprenticeship programs (including Maritime Career Training, Maritime Careers Exploration & Placement, Maritime Career Pathways, and the SALTY apprenticeship), delivering hands‑on sails, voyages, and industry‑aligned credentialing support. The organization remains donor‑facing with a maintained website, state charity registration, and recent Form 990 filings and grant applications demonstrating ongoing program activity and multi‑year financial operations.
