The Project Management Institute - Hawai'i's annual Professional Development Day is almost here, and we are making sure their volunteer crew is ready to capture every moment!

Three new PMI members joined the cohort of videographers this year, and together they learned to transform a day filled with keynote talks and breakout sessions into an enlightening experience the whole community will be able to share in! Watch out for content from the event on our ʻŌlelo channels.

Shoutout to this year's director Kanaʻi and our Sr. Edu Specialist Alex for collaborating on this year's training session! by @olelocommunity

Behind every important conversation is a team making sure our community can see and hear it.

‘Ōlelo Community Media is proud to support the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) candidate debates, with our team working behind the scenes - from cameras and audio to production and technical support - to bring these important conversations to communities across O‘ahu.

It’s community media in action - putting our people, expertise and resources to work to expand access to information and keep our community connected to the issues shaping Hawai‘i’s future.

It’s just one example of the work happening behind the scenes every day to keep our communities informed, connected and engaged.

Creativity has a place in every classroom! 🎬 Our ʻŌlelo Education team works with students and educators to explore media, share ideas, and discover new ways to tell their stories.

From podcasting and animation to video production and career pathways, our recent visits to Waipahu and McKinley High Schools brought students a closer look at the possibilities in media. Mahalo to the educators and students who welcomed us into their classrooms!

Giving Voice: Creating Safer Ways to Move

Our roads are shared by drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians, families, and keiki. Keeping everyone safe starts with awareness and looking out for one another.

Our Giving Voice PSA spotlights the EMS & Injury Prevention Systems Branch and its work to help make our roads and communities safer.
Whether you’re behind the wheel, on two wheels, or on foot, awareness and aloha can make every trip safer.

Watch the PSA on our YouTube page.

Safer streets start with all of us.

What does it take to bring a story to the screen? This weekend, 12 keiki from MIRAI HANA got to find out at ʻŌlelo!

During a hands-on workshop in our studio, they practiced using a professional camera, explored the control room, and took on different roles to record a video together. Along the way, they saw how much listening and teamwork go into a production.

Mahalo to MIRAI HANA for bringing these curious young creators to ʻŌlelo. We loved sharing how media can help people tell stories that matter to their communities.

Have an idea for a workshop or community project? Partner with ʻŌlelo to bring it to life. Reach out to olelocm@olelo.org to start the conversation.

Giving Voice: Falls Prevention Awareness Week

Stay steady. Stay strong. Stay independent.

A fall can happen in seconds, but a few simple changes can make a big difference. During Falls Prevention Awareness Week, our latest Giving Voice PSAs spotlight the Hawaiʻi Falls Prevention Alliance and EMS Injury Prevention for their work to help kūpuna and families recognize risks, prevent falls, and keep moving with confidence.
👟 Stay active.
🏠 Make your surroundings safer.
💪 Build strength and balance.
🤝 Look out for the kūpuna in your life.

Watch the PSA on our YouTube channel, share what you learn, and help spread the word - because preventing falls helps keep our kūpuna active, connected, and independent.

At ʻŌlelo Community Media, we’re proud to give voice to information that helps our community stay safe and strong.

“Coming into these rooms every day and meeting all you guys - you make me feel normal.”

For Kekoa Carvalho, host of the Pure Aloha Talk podcast, gratitude begins with having a place to be heard.

Kekoa and Alvin Legaspi lead GOALS Hawaiʻi, a nonprofit advancing mental health awareness, substance-use prevention and violence prevention across the islands. Rooted in their own experiences of overcoming difficult circumstances, their work creates space for honest conversations and healing.

At ʻŌlelo Community Media, they’ve found a room where they can share their stories and invite others to share theirs. Because everyone’s story is different, and any one of them could be the story that helps someone feel seen, understood or less alone.
Your story belongs here, too.
Mahalo to Kekoa, Alvin and the entire GOALS Hawaiʻi team for trusting us with your voices.

Share your voice at olelo.org.

🎥✨ Kids’ Voices – Media Producer Edition ✨🎥

ʻŌlelo Community Media × MIRAI HANA
@olelocommunity

After experiencing media production in a real TV studio, the children shared their favorite moments, what they learned, and what they want to try next! 🎬

💬 Favorite moments:
“being on TV”
“the control room”
“controlling the camera”
“talking in the mike”
“Helping Trevor with his YouTube channel”

🌟 Today I learned:
“How to film”
“How to hold a camera”
“How to control a camera”

💭 Next time, I want to try:
“to be on live”
“pressing buttons”
“it again”

From speaking on camera to working behind the scenes, each child found something exciting to explore.

Their Work Notes reminded us that media production is about more than being on screen—it’s about trying new things, listening, and working together. 💛

Mahalo to Neal, Gabriel, Wayne, Alex, and the entire ʻŌlelo Community Media team for this amazing experience! 🎥✨
