Kīpuka Kauaʻi

Hoʻomau Ola O Kauaʻi (HOOK) is your space to grow with confidence and connection. This program helps you build resilience, strengthen cultural identity, and access resources for education, career readiness, and holistic health.

You’ll explore Hawaiian values and your own moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy) through workshops that connect you to family, place, and culture. In ʻImi Ola sessions, you’ll learn practical skills like goal-setting, financial literacy, and self-regulation to prepare for life beyond school.

Hands-on experiences include community service projects with local farms, nonprofits, and small businesses, giving you real-world learning opportunities. You’ll also gain college and career readiness skills through FAFSA and scholarship workshops, resume building, mock interviews, and job fairs.

HOOK is more than a program, it’s a pathway to healing, belonging, and future success. Come ready to learn, serve, and envision what’s possible.
