ʻAha Lōkahi CommUNITY Conference 2022 Recap

About ʻAha Lōkahi 

The Hawaiʻi Afterschool Alliance is proud to present our in-person 2022 ʻAha Lōkahi CommUNITY Conference. This yearʻs theme, "Ua Ola Loko i ke Aloha: Thriving Youth Starts With Us" (Love gives life within. Love is imperative to oneʻs mental and physical welfare. #2836), recognizes the need for love and care for ourselves in order to love and care for the youth and families we serve. Through interactive workshops, site visits, and hands-on activities, this conference will focus on ways to nurture our well-being as well as strategies and best practices to support our children and youthʻs well-being.

This conference is for afterschool and youth development professionals, educators, administrators, and other community members who are dedicated to supporting Hawaiʻiʻs children and youth. Join us this August to create the conditions that open up new possibilities for all to thrive!
