Community Champion Members

Our Community Champion members comprise a movement that shares one goal: to make Hawaiʻi a great place to be a kid. We partner with families, policymakers, business leaders, preschools, and nonprofit agencies to ensure Hawaiʻi’s children are healthy, safe and ready to learn. With a unified voice, we speak for Hawaiʻi’s future. Community Champion members come together each year to create a Children’s Policy Agenda.
