Community Well Being is Our Mission
Strengthening Community
& Nurturing Lives
As the only community center in Waikiki, we play an essential role in the well-being of residents near and far. Governed by a dedicated local board, powered by skilled professionals, and uplifted by an exceptional volunteer team, we are an independent, local nonprofit committed to serving our community.
At 310 Paoakalani Avenue, our center stands close to where Queen Liliuokalani once found peace and inspiration on her Waikiki estate—a reminder of how special our home is.
About
At Waikiki Community Center, preschool students learn with confidence, families strengthen bonds that last a lifetime, kupuna explore new passions, lifelong learners expand their horizons, and those in need find nourishment and support.
