Our Community, Our Stories

Hoʻoulu ʻĀina/NieiRek/Seams Wonderful/Youth Services: Pacific Voices

Celebrate Micronesia Festival

Each year, folks from the community gather at the Bishop Museum to experience the Celebrate Micronesia Festival. This year’s celebration was filled with vibrant colors, lively performances, retail vendors, informative booths, cultural activities, and a sense of community.

Youth Services: KVIBE

KVIBE’s New Mural

The next time you travel down Kamehameha IV Road, be sure to stop and admire KVIBE’s new mural. A lovely tribute to KVIBE, the mural serves as not only a piece of art but also as a point of pride.

Maternal Child Health

Empowering Women, Infants, and Children

The WIC program has been a crucial resource for mothers and children here in Hawaiʻi. It is a special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children that focuses on more than just providing healthy food.

Youth Services

Mental Health Matters

Recent statistics on youth mental health in Hawaiʻi paint a concerning picture of the state's younger generation grappling with mental health challenges. In response to this pressing need, KKV has added a Social/Mental Health Worker to its Youth Services team. This role is the first of its kind.
