Abstract

The Institute for Native Pacific Education and Culture (INPEACE) has provided educational programs to Native Hawaiian communities since 1994, nurturing the growth and development of keiki through ‘ohana-focused models and empowering community members to become educators and active leaders in their own communities because they understand, live, and are invested in the community’s future. INPEACE Chief Executive Officer Maile Keliipio-Acoba and Chief Program Officer Sanoe Marfil, offer a personal glimpse into their work and reflect on how their organization is supporting the Native Hawaiian community through culture-based education and professional development.
