HEC’s focus centers on three critical areas to help build thriving communities: Climate Repair, Adaptation, and Sustainability; Housing for All; and Learning Communities. Its Rediscovering Hawai‘i’s Soul (RHS) initiative is core to HEC’s work and the RHS network continues to grow as more individuals and organizations learn about it and turn their shared kuleana for our island home into actionable results.

Utilizing the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s CHANGE Framework as an organizing tool, HEC focuses on common data, shared goals, and collective action. Every member is actively engaged and dedicates their collective energy and resources where immediate and systemic changes will benefit Hawai‘i and the world.
