Ke Kahua Pilina is Nā Hokua's summer program welcoming new and returning students to the support we provide throughout the year based on our Nā ʻIke ʻEhā framework, which includes pilina, pikoʻu, pono, and kuleana.
Over the years, Ke Kahua Pilina has been virtual, hybrid, and in-person and has created opportunities for students to build pilina with people, places, and programs.
