Kamehameha Schools’ new Kalanihookaha Community Learning Center in Nānākuli welcomed its first haumāna recently. The ‘ōpio are crafting ‘ukulele as part of an alternative learning program for at-risk youth. Named for the late Dr. Agnes “Auntie Aggie” Kalanihookaha Cope – a champion for Native Hawaiian health, education, culture and the arts – the center serves as a gathering place for community learners and KS program partners.
