Hale Kipa

Hale Kipa provides opportunities and environments that strengthen and encourage youth, their families and communities.

MISSION

Hale Kipa provides opportunities and environments that strengthen and encourage youth, their families and communities to actualize their potential and social responsibility.

KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

Hale Kipa’s programs bring together our extensive experience, the support of the government and community, and the efforts of our dedicated staff to form a continuum of services, from prevention to residential.  By design and in practice, Hale Kipa’s programs are intended to be proactive in helping youth overcome challenges at the earliest point of intervention to avoid more serious challenges later in life.

Your contribution to the Hale Kipa Annual Fund is vital because it fills gaps that government and foundation grants do not cover. Last year hundreds of disadvantaged youth got a chance for a better life thanks to more than $400,000 in contributions from our generous donors, providing things like:

• Housing when there was nowhere to go.
• Counseling and support services to assist in finding a better path in life.
• Special needs such as school supplies and equipment.

EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

50 YEARS OF SERVICE

On January 26, 2020, Hale Kipa will celebrate its 50th Anniversary of serving Hawai‘i’s at-risk youth.  Since 1970, we have served over 60,000 youth and are committed to serving for many more decades from our future new home in ‘Ewa.
