Who we are

Kapōʻai is a nonprofit corporation focused on activating the indigenous consciousness of youth, their families, and our communities in the areas of cultural practice, leadership, performing arts, water-based sports and activities, and agriculture.

Our inaugural projects are 360Hilo, a bodyboarding team that provides culturally rooted, accessible bodyboarding clinics and competitions that empower keiki, elevate ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi, and foster healthy families through the ocean, and Hui Hoʻāuhuli, a Youth Leadership program focused on indigenous education and environmental solutions.
