Oʻahu is home to the majority of Hawaiʻi’s population, a fusion of East and West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. Since 2006, we have worked to find passionate individuals who are committed to expanding opportunities for all children. From our initial charter corps of 50 young leaders a wave of impact has steadily grown over the years,  impacting over 50,000 students, primarily in our high need communities in the Leeward and Central Districts of O‘ahu. Today, the vast majority of new teachers are clustered in the Nānākuli-Wai‘anae complex.

Hawaiʻi island is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain. Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined its sheer size is awe-inspiring. We expanded our work here in 2009 and have worked to build strong community and school partnerships. While our Corps Members and Alumni teach in schools across all three complexes, our most significant concentration of teachers is in the Honoka‘a-Kealakehe-Kohala-Konawaena complex.
