About Hawaii 3Rs

Hawaii 3Rs (Repair • Remodel • Restore) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed in 2001 that mobilizes community resources, volunteer labor, private grants, and public appropriations to repair and renovate Hawaii’s public school facilities. The organization works in partnership with the Hawaii State Department of Education to identify priority projects and provide project management, vendor coordination, and volunteer oversight. Over the past two decades Hawaii 3Rs has completed large-scale projects including playground installations, classroom renovations, and specialized facility builds (for example a health academy). The organization reports having completed hundreds of projects statewide and has managed multi-million-dollar funding streams to reduce the state’s school repair backlog and improve learning environments for keiki.
