✨YWCA Oahu Kokokahi✨
In 1927, Dr. Theodore Richards, former Principal of Kamehameha Schools, envisioned a community center where people of all races could come together as "one blood" or "kokokahi". In a time when it was the custom for communities to be segregated by race, Kokokahi was an unprecedented effort to breakdown racial barriers. The YWCA national commitment to eliminating racism is in close harmony with Dr. Richard's vision and ensures our programs and services are inclusive and mindful of the dignity of others.
Since 1900, YWCA Oahu’s programs have continued to evolve to empower the women of Hawaii. At YWCA Kokokahi that mission continues as a place for women, families, and the community to gather, grow, and restore.
