FAMILY HUI

It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a hui to raise a parent.

Twelve weeks of village for growing families on Maui.

Begins September 2026

The Mission

To support, encourage, and empower families to meet the positives and challenges of raising children by providing a safe and nurturing environment for them to grow, thrive, and learn from each other.

The Vision

Every family is equipped with the knowledge and support systems needed to ensure that all children are thriving, healthy, and safe.

Values

  • Families as children’s first and most influential teachers in life
  • Fostering relationships so that every child has a sense of belonging
  • Inspiring empathy in our families’ lives
  • Teaching families about age appropriate child development
  • Parenting strategies that reflect mindful reactions to challenging behaviors
  • Encouraging families, schools, and their communities to develop thriving partnerships and relationships to build a foundation of life-long learning and success for every child

Twelve weeks. Familiar faces. Real community.

Rather than meeting once and disappearing back into our separate lives, we will gather consistently over twelve weeks.

Enough time to learn one another's names.

Enough time to stop having to introduce yourself.

Enough time to ask how someone is doing and actually know what they mean when they answer.

Enough time for community to become relationship.

This is not about becoming a perfect family.

It is about having people around while you strengthen your family.

It takes a village.

We do not have to do this alone.

Family Hui is about creating consistent connection during a season when families often need it most.
