About this study

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a community referral program can improve services for youth with mental health and chronic health conditions in a predominantly Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community. The main questions the trial aims to address are: * What is the best way for a community health center to connect youth with community programs rooted in cultural practices and traditions? * Does participation in community programs engage youth and mental health and chronic health outcomes? Participants will: * Participate in a community program for youth that will strengthen connection to 'āina (land) and culture. Programs in the summer are 5 hours per day, 4 days a week, for 4 weeks. Programs in the school-year are 2.5 hours per day, 2 days a week, for 16 weeks. * Take surveys on their demographics, general well-being, mental health, and chronic health conditions they may have at 4 different times: Before the program begins, immediately after the program finishes, 3-4 months after finishing, and 6-8 months after finishing. * Have an adult family member complete surveys on their youth's demographics and general well-being at the same 4 times
