Our Mission

Kaulana Nā Pua is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the healing and empowerment of youth ages 10–25 through the ancestral arts of hula and oli, grounded in Hawaiian culture, values, and traditions. We uplift youth most vulnerable to substance abuse, suicide, and disconnection by restoring their sense of belonging, self-worth, and identity. Guided by the wisdom of our kūpuna, we prepare young people to walk in pono, embrace their kuleana, and lead lives rooted in aloha.
