Papahana o Kaiona students thrive in a culture-based, hands-on learning evironment that takes them from mauka to makai all across O'ahu. Through site-based explorations, cultural practices, and real-world projects, our haumāna build confidence, connection, and a deeper sense of kuleana to 'āina and community. These photos highlight the meaningful work they've been doing with the help of our partner sites and organizations, to learn, grow, and discover their place in the world.
