The program provided comprehensive training, hands-on experience, mentoring, and networking opportunities. We aim to expand the program to foster a skilled construction workforce.Our high school program was a resounding success, serving a total of 18 students from Kanuikapono Public Charter School. These students came from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic levels, but they all shared a common goal: to make a positive difference in their community.We are proud to say that our program not only provided academic support and enrichment opportunities to these students but also instilled in them a strong sense of civic responsibility and a commitment to service. Through our program, they learned the importance of giving back to their community and making a positive impact on the lives of others.In addition to the direct services we provided to the students, we also dedicated ourselves to serving the broader Native Hawaiian community. We logged over 50 hours of community service hours, working with various organizations and government agencies to make a tangible difference in the lives of Native Hawaiians.One of our key areas of focus was community cleanups. We organized and participated in several cleanup events, removing trash and debris from beaches, parks, and other public spaces. We also partnered with local food banks and community organizations to deliver food and essential supplies to families in need.Furthermore, we collaborated with nonprofit organizations such as Aina Alliance, Department of Hawaiian Homelands (DHHL), Kanuikapono Public Charter School, Kukulu Kumuhana O Anahola, Hawaii Community Lending, Hawaii Community Assets, and KeKula Niihau Public Charter School to provide no-cost renovations for DHHL beneficiary kupuna. We believe that every kupuna deserves to live in a safe, comfortable, and well-maintained home, and we were honored to be able to provide this service to them.Our high school program was a testament to the power of collaboration and the transformative impact that young people can have when they are empowered to make a difference. We are grateful for the opportunity to have served the Kanuikapono Public Charter School community and the broader Native Hawaiian community, and we look forward to continuing our work in the years to come.In 2023, our primary objective was to propel the growth of our program and bolster the workforce on Kauai. This strategic endeavor aligns with our long-term vision of establishing a construction-focused high school within our community. By fostering a robust construction education program, we aim to equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in this vital industry. This initiative not only addresses the immediate needs of our local workforce but also lays the groundwork for a sustainable and prosperous future for Kauai. Our unwavering commitment to this goal ensures that our students will have access to hands-on training, industry-standard equipment, and mentorship opportunities from experienced professionals. Through this high school, we aspire to shape the next generation of construction leaders and innovators, ensuring that Kauai's construction industry remains competitive and thriving for years to come.In 2023, our organization undertook a significant initiative to empower individuals seeking career transitions. Through a carefully-designed program, we invested in the training and equipping of 12 talented individuals. Each intern received comprehensive support, including mentorship, skill development, and access to cutting-edge resources.The success of our program is reflected in the remarkable 100% career transition rate achieved by our interns. This outcome is a testament to the dedication of our team and the resilience of the individuals we had the privilege of working with.The cost of equipping and training each intern exceeded $25,000. This investment may seem substantial, but it pales in comparison to the long-term benefits it will yield. By providing these individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in their chosen fields, we are not only transforming their lives but also contributing to the overall growth and prosperity of our community.The impact of our program extends beyond the individuals it directly serves. By inspiring others to pursue their dreams and overcome challenges, we are creating a ripple effect that can positively influence countless lives. We believe that every person has the potential to make a difference, and we are honored to play a role in unleashing that potential.Moving forward, we are committed to expanding our program to reach even more individuals. Our goal is to make career transitions accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. By investing in the human capital of our community, we are investing in a brighter future for all. 346976 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false HI X X Lawaia Naihe 8086524208 3895 Kawelo Road Anahola HI 96703 Lawaia Naihe Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 36750 0 0 Lucianne Pukahi-Viernes President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jason Yoshida Vice President 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Derrick Adams Treasurer 10.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lynn Lardizabal Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kalani Flores Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 36750 0 false false false 0 124737 2500 124737 Renovation & training job 230000 348060 348060 348060 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Credit card loyalty payment 900099 4 4 4 472801 348064 X 0 0 0 0 36750 2652 33891 207 0 72967 37598 29724 5645 0 263 97 152 14 12877 4724 7466 687 0 0 8724 8724 0 0 0 162644 141715 12929 8000 47 47 6222 3053 3169 0 0 0 1130 818 312 0 508 508 293 293 0 14980 10367 4469 144 134 134 Job supplies 113950 106392 7558 Meals 16591 11261 5330 General excise taxes 15663 15663 Uniforms 5564 5395 169 13532 7241 5707 584 482839 346976 120582 15281 27103 6837 0 0 6000 9577 0 0 0 0 3475 2230 81136 19232 59538 61904 0 0 0 1850 4305 7500 11340 105466 96193 8748 11543 1960 70 10778 11543 X 22688 53778 72000 30872 94688 84650 105466 96193 -10038 X false false false X 144304 124737 269041 0 0 144304 124737 269041 232985 36056 10 10 0 4 4 269055 518313 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 77208 18336 58872 3928 896 3032 61904 Construction in progress 7500 Taxes receivable 3840 11340 Lawaia Naihe Director Cash flow X 13367 false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The draft Form 990 is submitted to its board of directors at least 10 days before the Form 990 is filed with the IRS.
