Hanahou Marketplace is a dual-track workforce development program designed to empower high school and early college-aged girls and young women (ages 16–19) from across Hawaiʻi through hands-on training in sustainable fashion and digital freelancing for ecommerce.

Kicking off in Summer 2026, this hybrid summer program blends in-person pop-up experiences with real-world management of an online thrift store, providing participants with direct exposure to the digital skills needed to thrive as self-employed freelancers. Youth will learn to photograph and style products, write compelling product descriptions, manage inventory, process online sales, and market through social media — all while gaining insight into the circular fashion economy and the operations of a mission-driven business.
