“The Power of Pilina” Community Day

Caring for our community means being a resource to all who nurture our youth including parents, caregivers, kūpuna, educators, coaches, spiritual leaders, health care workers, and others. Whether addressing physical, emotional, or academic needs, together we create a resilient and compassionate community where every child can just be a kid. The world is changing and we can change with it. Let’s build a Compassionate Ko‘olaupoko.
