Cultivating Wisdom Through Community-Grown Educators

Ka Lama Education Academy is the longest running program of INPEACE. With a deep commitment to our community in Waiʻanae, we cultivate homegrown educators through our Grow Your Own (GYO) Teacher Education program, embodying the spirit of “ka lama kū i ka noʻeau” – the standing torch of wisdom. The program strives to nurture educators deeply rooted in their cultural heritage and committed to serving their community with excellence in education. We envision educators who are not only knowledgeable but also confident, capable, and connected to their community.

Empowering ‘Ohana: How the Hoʻāla Program Supports Families to Find Quality Childcare and Financial Assistance

Since 2011, Our Hoʻāla Program stands as a beacon of support for ‘Ohana with young keiki, ages 0-5. Hoʻāla’s mission is to simplify the lives of families by connecting them with quality childcare and essential financial assistance and is funded by Kamehameha Schools Kaiāulu. Through outreach spanning Nānākuli to Keawaʻula &; ‘Ewa/Kapolei on Oʻahu, the island of Kauai, and Hilo, Hawaiʻi, the program ensures that every ‘ohana can cherish precious moments with their keiki and prepare them for a lifelong journey of education.
