About ʻAha Lōkahi 

The Hawaiʻi Afterschool Alliance is proud to present our in-person 2023 ʻAha Lōkahi CommUNITY Conference. This year's theme is Ka Lamakū Aloha REignite the Light Within. Lamakū is a large torch made of kukui and it refers to that torch that we carry within us that lights the way. The conference will focus on ways to reignite our light within to learn the best practices and strategies to support our children's and youth's well-being through interactive workshops, site visits, and hands-on activities.

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 October to create the conditions that open up new possibilities for all to thrive!
