Hawai‘i’s future rests with its youth, who showed their vision and leadership at the first Ka Pewa Youth Summit in Maui Nui. Planned by Maui County high school students through The Maui Nui Hui, the summit united young voices and community leaders to collaborate, spark solutions, and take action. Its mission was to equip youth with the tools, connections, and influence to shape a future they can own—one that allows them to thrive at home while addressing outmigration, building skills, and driving long-term community impact.
