Avoid Ridiculously Expensive Rent & Get Your Free Account
Brain Chain Hawaii is a community-driven non-profit providing local college graduates with transitional housing subsidies, career placements, and local support to stay and thrive in Hawaii.
The Problem
48%–52% of local graduates struggle with underemployment or finding career-track jobs in Hawaii.
Young local graduates (ages 22–24) hear constantly from peers that "it's too hard to find a job" and that "housing is so expensive in Hawaii." Landlords often make renting difficult for young adults, creating immense pressure to leave the islands.

As a non-profit organization, our mission is to answer Jared and every local graduate's hope: staying close to family and building a stable life in Hawaii by bridging the gap between affordable housing and career success.
