Who We Serve

Who We Serve

Liliʻuokalani Center is designed for kamaliʻi (Queen Liliʻuokalani’s beneficiaries) ages 12-24.

Our Approach

We believe that at Liliʻuokalani Center, our kamaliʻi will experience a sense of belonging, connection, and safety in an inclusive environment. Here, they will connect with diverse and inspiring people, opportunities, and experiences. Combined with holistic and culturally grounded supports, kamaliʻi will develop increased awareness of themselves, their culture, and their interests while addressing their needs and building a strong, stable foundation for life.

Vision

E nā kamalei lupalupa. Thriving Hawaiian children.

Within our nurturing community, kamaliʻi will be positioned to positively contribute to the world, and live connected, healthy, joyful, and prosperous lives as lifelong learners and leaders, perpetuating the cycle of growth for the lāhui.

Liliʻuokalani Center FAQs

Liliʻuokalani Center is an initiative of Liliʻuokalani Trust, a private operating foundation established in 1909 by Queen Liliʻuokalani for the benefit “of orphaned and destitute children within these Hawaiian Islands, with preference given to those of pure or part Aboriginal ancestry.” Our target audience is Native Hawaiian youth ages 12-24 who are, or have been, involved in systems or have experienced challenging life circumstances.

Step 1: Kamaliʻi may express their interest by emailing [email protected] or calling LC at (808) 466-8088.

Step 2: Kamaliʻi will need to complete online registration and consent forms through an online form.

Step 3: The LC engagement team will schedule an in-person meeting/intake with the youth. Due to the volume of submissions, this may take up to 30 days.

Please note that enrollment in LC does not guarantee that you will be offered a space in any particular program or service.
