Kepa's Story
"Kupu has been woven into my life for more than 15 years — first as a participant, then as a staff member, and now as a donor. Along the way, I gained not only skills and opportunities, but also a deeper connection to my culture, my community, and our ʻāina. Kupu shaped the person I am today and instilled in me a sense of purpose that continues to guide my work.”

Maeghan's Story
“Kupu has given me the chance to visit and steward some of the most beautiful places across the islands, while also learning from great leaders and nurturing friendships that have lasted far beyond the program. Like many other Kupu alumni, no matter what sector (of work) we’re in, I know we’ll always stay connected through the shared experiences we’ve had caring for ʻāina.”
