Kapi‘olani Community College: A Place for Everyone

Opportunity. Culture. Life-Long Learning. These aren’t just ideals at Kapi‘olani Community College—they are the pillars of our living laboratory. Here, students from all walks of life learn, create, and prepare to lead in an ever-changing world, supported by a community that cares.

On April 9, our UH ‘ohana unites to uplift every campus and every student. At Kapi‘olani CC, we invite you to shine a spotlight on the funds that fuel our mission and reflect what makes our campus truly special:

  • Student Basic Needs (SBN)
    Support our students with essential resources such as food pantries, emergency housing, mental health services, and access to technology and equipment. These services help students thrive in their studies and prepare for life beyond the classroom.
  • Honoring Hawaiian Values and Culture (HHVC)
    Invest in programs that embrace sustainability, protect our ‘āina, and celebrate Native Hawaiian identity. Your support strengthens initiatives rooted in stewardship, cultural knowledge, and the values that define who we are.
  • Global Community Engagement (GCE)
    Open doors to the world through scholarships and grants that empower students to participate in international exchanges and global leadership programs. These experiences build bridges across cultures and help students grow as engaged citizens of the world.

Your gift sends a clear message: Kapi‘olani Community College is a place for everyone.

Mahalo for believing in our students and helping build a brighter future—one gift at a time.
