Sarah Menzies, as a devoted mother in Maui, I am deeply committed to community, spirituality, and healing. I believe in supporting our youth and their communities as the foundation for a more peaceful world. With over a decade of experience in the non-profit sector—including four years as an executive director for an organization serving adults with developmental disabilities—I bring a compassionate and insightful approach to navigating complex family, relational, ethical, and regulatory dynamics. My background in contemplative and early childhood education from Naropa University shapes my leadership style, grounded in mindfulness and empathy. Since 2023, I have served as a mediation and restorative justice facilitator with the Teran James Young Foundation, focusing on non-violent communication and fostering restorative practices within organizations, families, schools, and the broader community.
