For Dwight and Clarissa Evans, giving back is something they do together.
Through OhanaHC, they’ve found a meaningful way to invest their time in Howard County youth while connecting with others who share their commitment to community.
Clarissa also serves on the OhanaHC Board of Directors, bringing her experience in education and her perspective as a mentor and community leader to the organization’s work.
Together, Dwight and Clarissa show that there are many ways to make a difference. Through mentorship, leadership, and simply continuing to show up, they are helping strengthen the community surrounding OhanaHC youth.
We’re grateful for their dedication to OhanaHC, the young people we serve, and the village we are building together.
