Launa ʻOhana
Class info:
Come together in spaces built for connection, learning, and aloha. Liliʻuokalani Center’s Community Events invite you to monthly or quarterly gatherings that support your well-being and celebrate who you are.
You’ll take part in interactive activities that spark joy, share knowledge, and open doors to helpful resources, from health and wellness to cultural practices. These events are co-created with Liliʻuokalani Center youth leaders and community partners, so they reflect what matters most to you and your ʻohana.
Whether it’s a workshop, celebration, or talk story circle, each event is designed to strengthen relationships, affirm identity, and uplift Native Hawaiian youth. You’ll meet new friends, deepen your sense of belonging, and explore ways to care for yourself and your community.

Time: 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
