THE KALO COLLECTION IS NOW LIVE. 🌿

Planted in the earth, raised in the lo‘i, passing knowledge to the next generation. This limited edition collection was designed to celebrate the kalo and its legacy.

In the Hawaiian tradition of kūkaʻina ʻohana, older siblings have a responsibility to guide, support, and nurture younger generations. This spirit of mentorship reflects BGCH’s commitment to empowering keiki through positive relationships, meaningful guidance, and opportunities to reach their full potential.

📍 Limited Run. No restocks. Restrictions apply.

🤝 A portion of the proceeds to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii.

Everything we know was taught to us by someone who came before. The loʻi isn't just where kalo grows, it’s where the future is raised.

A new collection rooted in the legacy of the ʻāina.

And that’s a wrap on our What’s Next Cohort 5 College Tours Trip ✈️ 📚 ✏️ 🎓

Opportunities like our college trip is crucial to the success of our members! It not only allows them to explore different post-secondary options available to them, but it also allows them to learn more about themselves and what best fits them in terms of post-secondary options, it allows opportunities to network and build strong connections, but most importantly, it allows them the opportunity to gain confidence and motivation to continue planning for their GREAT FUTURE 💙

This would not be made possible without the support of many!

@southwestair @tacobell @cocacola - our proud partners and sponsors of our What’s Next program - mahalo for investing in our teens and helping them strive for the futures they deserve.

@bgch808 - mahalo to our BGCH executive leadership and Teen Services Team for advocating for opportunities like the college tours trip, and for striving year-round to ensure our teens have access to the necessary support, mentorship, and resources needed to be successful.

@bgch.lihue @bgch_kapaa @waianaeclubhouse @nanakulibgch @nanakuliteencenter_bgch - a huge mahalo to our Clubhouses and Site Teen Staff for showing up for our teens each day and mentoring them to strive for success.

Last but not least - mahalo nui to all of our teen’s ‘ohana for continuing to support their future dreams and aspirations and for believing in the work that we do.

Teens are happy, had lots of fun, and are leaving with many memories! We are on our way back - 808 bound 🙌🏾

We 💙 you all!

After a decade of dedicated leadership, we share our heartfelt mahalo with our President and CEO, Paddy Kauhane, who will retire from the organization on March 31, 2027.

Under her leadership, our organization grew stronger, our reach expanded, and more local youth gained access to the support, opportunities and encouragement they need to succeed.

While we will miss Paddy’s leadership and dedication, we are grateful for the foundation she helped build and the lasting positive impact it will continue to have on generations of youth.

Mahalo, Paddy! by @bgch808

A little change can make a BIG difference for our teens! 💙

We are incredibly grateful to the Taco Bell Foundation for awarding Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii a $175,000 Community Grant in support of our
What’s Next Initiative, helping our teens prepare for life after high school and supporting them beyond graduation.

What’s Next is about exactly that: helping teens figure out what comes next.

Through this 12-week program, teens explore who they are, where they want to go and the steps they need to take to get there. From academic readiness and postsecondary exploration to life skills, healthy lifestyles and workforce development, What’s Next gives
teens the tools, experiences and guidance to graduate high school with a plan for their future.

And here's the incredible part: you help make support like this possible! Every time you Round Up your total at a Taco Bell restaurant, those contributions help fund youth scholarships and organizations like BGCH that are investing in the next generation.

Mahalo to the Taco Bell Foundation, Taco Bell restaurants and everyone who chooses to Round Up. Your change helps our teens take their next steps with confidence, opportunity and a plan for their future. 💙

Because graduation isn't the finish line. It's just the beginning of What's Next.
