Kīpuka Waiʻanae

West Oʻahu ʻŌiwi Connection is your safe, welcoming space after school, a place to recharge, connect, and grow while staying rooted in Hawaiian culture.

If you’re 6–12, you’ll have time for homework, reading, and play—indoors or outdoors. You can choose your activities or join monthly enrichment sessions like cooking, arts and crafts, and movement. Every detail of the space is designed with care and hospitality, so you feel supported and valued.

For teens 13–17, this is a flexible drop-in space where you can relax, socialize, and access resources without a strict schedule. Need a snack, a shower, or a place to wash clothes? We’ve got you covered. You’ll also find support for schoolwork, hygiene supplies, and sometimes counseling or guidance when you need it.

West Oʻahu ʻŌiwi Connection is more than an after-school program, it’s a community hub where you can build pilina (relationships), explore interests, and feel at home. Come as you are. Your space is waiting.
