The Ka Pewa Youth Summit served as a powerful platform for youth empowerment in Maui Nui, inspiring students to recognize themselves as changemakers in their communities and future. Participants gained confidence in their voices, built meaningful connections with peers and leaders, and embraced a shared responsibility to address challenges such as outmigration and access to opportunities. The event also fostered collaboration among students, educators, and local leaders, laying the foundation for a youth-driven roadmap toward lasting community impact. By placing young people at the center, the summit not only celebrated their vision but also created momentum for action that will continue to shape Hawai‘i’s future.
