Hale Kipa

Hale Kipa is a multi-service, fully accredited 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that specializes in working with youth and their families who often have nowhere else to turn. Since its beginning in 1970 as a single shelter on the island of O‘ahu, Hale Kipa has expanded and has served more than 74,000 youth throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

With 21 programs that are flexible and responsive to changing needs, Hale Kipa supports youth involved in juvenile justice, behavioral health, education, and child welfare. Hale Kipa also works in partnership with public agencies and private organizations to provide residential, outreach, and foster care services. Program goals include stabilizing young people in crisis and helping build resiliency to experience success in their lives.

Thanks to the generous support from government, businesses, organizations, and individuals, Hale Kipa has continued to provide all services at no cost to youth and their families.
