Yesterday, Hawaii News Now aired a youth panel discussion on the importance of voting and student-led advocacy efforts taking place.

KSH senior and ASKS president Kamahaʻo Halemanu was one of twelve student leaders from Kamehameha Schools, Ke Kula O Ehukaimalino, Ka ʻUmeke Kāʻeo, Mid-Pacific Institute, and Windward Community College to participate in this important discussion.

Great job Kamahaʻo!

This effort is a part of a larger youth engagement movement of Our Kaiāulu Votes! designed to give students a platform to encourage voters to participate in this year's election.
