Inspire cultural preservation through community engagement.
Our vision is a future for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities, where cultural heritage thrives, health and well-being are prioritized, education unlocks potential, and economic opportunity empowers.
Our mission is to empower our community, guided by the values of aloha (love), 'ohana (family), ha’aheo (respect), ho’omalu (discipline) and kūkā (participation).
