At Hale Kipa, our work has always been rooted in aloha, kuleana (responsibility), and the belief that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. As we continue to grow and respond to the evolving needs of Hawai‘i’s youth, young adults, and families, we are proud to share our newly articulated Vision and Mission statements. These statements reflect not only who we are today, but also where we are headed together as a community.
