AiKea at UH
AiKea at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa is a group of students who care deeply for social justice and the future of Hawaiʻi. We embrace and promote diversity, social justice and equality. We, as students, must lead, vote, organize, and act to protect our education, our future, and our island home. To learn more or get involved, contact us.
AiKea in our High Schools
Our AiKea high school program is dedicated to training local high schools to organize their peers and the broader community. So far we have engaged over 100 students at Mililani, Farrington, and Waipahu high schools around their issue of getting AC into classrooms and our larger campaigns around affordable housing and the Aston Waikiki Beach and Hotel Renew. The program’s larger goal is to train youth in organizing so our movement will have a future! To learn more or get involved, contact us.
AiKea Academy
In 2015, we launched the AiKea Academy to train people on how to organize and fight for real change. Our 1st session consisted of 5 weekly “classroom” sessions, followed by 5 town hall sessions on housing that participants organized in the 5 City Council districts that are up for reelection in 2016. Our 2nd session was a 7-week program that covered organizing skills like community outreach, media outreach, and lobbying with opportunities to apply these skills. Our 3rd session was a 10-week program that trained people on how to organize their neighborhoods. Stay tuned for news on future sessions: Follow us on Facebook and sign up on our email list.
