Cultural Programs
Understanding the needs of our community, KALOʻs main focus was to uplift cultural identity and recognize the needs of our community. So many of our community lack a sense of belonging because we do not see ourselves in the spaces that surround us today. Cultural identity means having a place where culture is practiced daily. Culture isnʻt just hula and mele, it is the values that our kupuna have instilled in our families for generations. Living in the diaspora we found that many of our Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities yearn for a place to just be.
Hāloa Program
The Hāloa Program is a transformative cultural immersion experience designed to ground students and keiki in Native Hawaiian language, values, and traditional practices. During summer and spring break, participants gather at the AloHā Resource & Community Center to learn directly from Kumu, deepen their ʻike, and cultivate lasting pilina with one another and their culture.
Hana Nōʻeau Workshops
KALO offers monthly workshops that provide participants with hands-on experiences in traditional Hawaiian practices. From crafting haku lei and kuʻi kalo to learning hula and ʻukulele, these session honor ancestral knowledge while fostering cultural connection, skill-building, and community engagement.
