    A Place to Land: The Story of Anchor Point Youth Center
    Feb 20 2026

    In this first episode of Community in Conversation, Neighborhood Place of Puna Executive Director Billi-Jo Pike sits down with former Anchor Point Youth Center Program Coordinator Minnie Cain to reflect on the powerful first year of Anchor Point Youth Center — Hawaiʻi County’s first drop-in center specifically designed for homeless and at-risk youth.

    Together, they share the story behind why Anchor Point was created, what they expected when the doors opened, and what surprised them most.

    From youth coming in for their “firsts” — first emergencies, first job interviews, first leases — to the quiet, everyday moments of trust and laughter, this conversation explores what it really means to create a space rooted in safety, consistency, and radical acceptance.
