About the State Coalition

Vision
Built upon a foundation of pilina (strong relationships), schools are hubs of their community, where families, educators, and communities collectively pursue equitable student outcomes and community wellbeing. 

Mission
Unify a diverse group of partners and resources to advocate for, lift up, and support the growth and implementation of community schools in Hawaiʻi. 

Key Areas of Work

• Advocacy and Policy - Coordinate advocacy efforts at the local, state and federal levels, and within state agencies to support and sustain community schools.
• Capacity Building and Resource Sharing - Share resources and support schools in implementing the community school strategies.
• Communications and Messaging - Create unified messaging and communication campaigns to build awareness of the impact and importance of community schools. 
• Building Partnerships - Grow the coalition to include cross-sector partners, and create opportunities for input from students, families and school leaders.​
