Malama Ka`ehu

A place to gather. Ka'ehu Bay has a long-running history of being a resource for our community. The Kaʻehu Youth Enhancement & Mentorship Program (KYEMP) is a collaboration between cultural practitioners, natural resource management specialists, and community leaders to train students in traditional land stewardship practices and values found in the Ahupuaʻa land management system. 

The after-school and summer program brings the youth of our community together with various professionals to cultivate long-term success through career education and hands-on experience. KYEMP empowers our youth with opportunities to support the community and mālama ʻāina (care for the land) and mālama kai (care for the ocean).
