Ho`okele Coalition
Ho‘okele Coalition is dedicated to preventing youth substance use on the island of Kaua‘i. We bring together community members, youth, parents, schools, and local organizations to create a safe, healthy, and drug-free future for our island’s youth.
Mission
Working together to create drug-free youth communities.
What We Do
Prevention Education: We focus on community-wide prevention strategies that educate and empower youth and families.
Youth Leadership: Our youth are the heart of our work. They lead campaigns, create newsletters, and advocate for change.
Community Collaboration: We partner with local schools, nonprofits, law enforcement, businesses, and healthcare providers to strengthen prevention efforts.
Public Outreach: We participate in events, share resources, and provide presentations to raise awareness around youth alcohol and marijuana use.
Evidence-based Curriculum: Provide the opportunity for evidence-based learning opportunities in schools and within the community.
