Mohala Na Pua

Mohala na pua ui i ka wai o na kuahiwi. The youth thrive, being nourished by the mountain range.

Our work in action

This is more than a program—it’s a movement. A commitment to empowering the next generation and reclaiming identity through land, culture, and connection.

Goals

  1. To address keiki substance use leveraging Native Hawaiian principles like storytelling and community building to develop increased awareness of substance use concerns and prevention.
     
  2. Redesign an existing culturally grounded substance use prevention intervention to individualize it to the keiki and community.
     
  3. Monitor individual substance use and resistance skill behaviors in the Windward District.
