Programs

Work alongside other groups, especially Indigenous partners, to host cultural events, build libraries and resource centers, and create print, audio, and video projects that help keep Marshallese culture alive and share it with future generations.

Provides structured training opportunities—including an annual summer leadership and training session—that help young people strengthen cultural identity, build civic responsibility, and prepare for future education and career pathways. Through culturally grounded learning, leadership development, and mentoring, the program supports gifted youth and youth who would benefit from additional support by offering positive role models, skill-building experiences, and guidance that promote confidence, purpose, and long-term success.

To share knowledge, educate, and raise awareness about the environmental challenges facing both the Marshall Islands and the United States. We plan to achieve this through partnerships with other non-governmental organizations and relevant government agencies, by sponsoring forums and events on these issues, and by developing accessible educational materials.

Support Marshallese families by connecting them to essential services while honoring cultural heritage and strengthening long-term stability. Through strategic partnerships and community collaboration, we create pathways for education, workforce participation, health access, and civic engagement—supporting Marshallese individuals and families as they contribute to and thrive within American society.

This education program is one part of MANIT’s broader vision to strengthen opportunity and long-term stability for Marshallese families. By motivating students to pursue higher education, we are building an early link in a larger pathway that leads from high school to college, careers, and future leadership. Education serves as a foundation for economic mobility, workforce development, and community resilience—benefits that extend well beyond individual students and support generations to come.

Strengthens the health and well-being of Marshallese families through community-based education, outreach, care navigation, and connection to services across the health continuum. As a trusted community-based organization—not a clinical provider—MANIT partners with healthcare systems, Coordinated Care Organizations, public health agencies, and community partners to promote preventive care, support physical and behavioral health, maternal and family well-being, chronic disease prevention, and healthy lifeways, while helping individuals and families understand and effectively navigate the health system to achieve long-term wellness and stability.

Work with partners to share the history of nuclear testing in the Marshall Islands and elsewhere. By telling these stories openly, we hope to spark conversations and shape public policies that honor communities and protect future generations.
