Our Mission
INPEACE, the Institute for Native Pacific Education and Culture, is committed to improving the quality of life for Native Hawaiians through community partnerships that provide educational opportunities and promote self-sufficiency.
Leadership
INPEACE leadership is composed of two guiding forces:
Our founders, who took their combined knowledge and experience working with Native Hawaiian children in the education system and created INPEACE to provide better resources and programs to those in need. Their values and optimism are woven into our culture and remain at the core of our mission.
Our Board of Directors who work tirelessly to guide INPEACE toward its mission, creating actionable benchmarks and providing key support for our goals. Their efforts continue to move INPEACE in a positive direction.

Awards & Accolades
Our greatest accomplishments, by far, are the families we help – watching our participants grow, become confident, and give back to their communities. We are lucky that these community achievements have been recognized with several awards and accolades.
Annual Reports
INPEACE works to achieve quantifiable outcomes to measure our impact on the community. Year after year we strive to strengthen communities and provide lasting resources and programs that matter.
Digital Storytelling
INPEACE Digital Storytellers are Hawaiʻi-born filmmakers and photographers who go wherever and whenever they are needed to tell the stories of our programs, INPEACE participants, and community partners. Digital Storytellers apply their artistry to the task of amplifying oral storytelling in our communities, allowing audiences to connect on an emotional level.
