Resilience Hub with Vibrant Hawaii
We’ve partnered with Vibrant Hawaii to support the goal of implementing a networked approach to building islandwide resilience, neighboring communities build relationships, share resources, and are able to respond to one another’s needs.
The future is full of potential
We recently acquired an additional 14 acres to our campus in Pahoa and have a strategic plan in place to substantially grow our facilities.
Join the Fun
Our programs include two annual community learning festivals, educational courses, and other workshops and events. See what’s coming up, or propose your own!
