Aloha veterans & first responders

We’re here for you.

What is Guardian Revival Hawaii?

Guardian Revival is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that improves the mental health & well-being of military & first responders — our guardians — and their families, at no cost to you.

Founded & based in the Hudson Valley, New York, we provide both online and in-person offerings.

We organize free on-island events in Hawaii — primarily on Windward Oahu.
