About INSTITUTE FOR NATIVE PACIFIC EDUCATION AND CULTURE

INPEACE (Institute for Native Pacific Education and Culture) is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) community organization that designs and delivers culturally grounded education, early childhood, teacher development, and family economic-capacity programs for Native Hawaiian communities. The organization operates statewide with program concentrations on the Waiʻanae Coast, Kapolei, ʻEwa, and Kauaʻi. Over the past several years INPEACE has expanded early learning and school-readiness programming (Keiki Steps, Hoʻāla, Hiʻilei), teacher development and educational equity work (Ka Lama, Kaulele, Kupu Ola), and family economic capacity-building (Hoʻoulu Waiwai, Center for Entrepreneurship). Recent program reporting on the organization's site shows multi-thousand participant reach in early learning and targeted enrollments in economic and teacher-development programs, and the organization is actively pursuing an $8,000,000 capital campaign to establish an INPEACE Community Hub on the Waiʻanae Coast.
