Leadership Kauai

Leadership Kauai

In 2003, Kauai volunteers from major community sectors stepped forward to launch Leadership Kauai to identify and develop individuals to lead Kauai into the 21st century. Today, the mayor, members of the County Council, school principals, nonprofit executives, and others are among Leadership Kauai’s 173 adult and 114 youth alumni who serve communities island wide. Leadership Kauai’s Piina Hoku (“Stars that Rise”) youth program began a multi-year expansion project in 2012 in public high schools to teach the fundamentals of leadership to many more students. Leadership is now part of the curriculum for all grade levels at Kapaa High School and the inaugural class will graduate in June 2015. With Cooke Foundation support, Leadership Kauai has implemented the program in partnership with the Department of Education, Kapaa High School administration and faculty, Kauai County officials, Kauai Chamber of Commerce, Kauai Community College, and other organizations. It plans to engage students in all of Kauai’s public, private and charter schools in developing their full potential as leaders.
