Helping Hawaiʻi’s Youth Thrive.

Every young person deserves a safe place to be welcomed, and a real chance to thrive. Hale Kipa is here for them.

What We Do

Rooted in aloha and kuleana, Hale Kipa is dedicated to supporting and empowering Hawai‘i’s youth and families who are navigating trauma, injustice, and systemic barriers. 

Through safe and nurturing housing, culturally grounded care, and trauma-informed relationships, we guide young people to discover their passions, build resilience, and thrive as compassionate, responsible leaders in their families and communities.

“Hale Kipa was my foundation for life saving changes.”

“I was living on the street because home wasn’t safe. The people at Hale Kipa fed me, helped me get my GED. I’ve made something of my life.”

Hale Kipa Youth Alumni

“When we couldn’t stand, they stood up for us. When we couldn’t speak, they were our voices. When we had nothing, they provided. When we couldn’t go, they were our wheels. When we couldn’t be heard, they were our microphone.”

Jomery, age 17
Single Mother and Hale Kipa Youth Alumni
