Are you interested in creating beautiful and functional agricultural spaces for youth education? Our Youth Garden is currently in progress at our Community Farm headquarters in Kalihiwai Ridge, and you’re welcome to join us in making this vision a reality!
Join us in developing our Youth Garden so we can begin to offer hands-on Keiki on the Farm educational opportunities throughout the year. Some of our current and upcoming work days include:
- Building a lilikoi-covered fence-line
- Weeding and mulching to create a base for the garden
- Installing irrigation systems
- Planting garden plots
- More TBA
No experience is necessary! You can join us on a Tuesday or Thursday - and we're also happy to schedule work days for groups of 4 or more!
Contact Emma at Emma@malamakauai.org or (808) 828-0685 x19 for more info or to set up a time to join us.

About Malama Kaua`i

PO BOX 1414, KILAUEA, HI 96754, US
Mission Statement
Who we are
Malama Kaua`i was founded mid-2006 by Keone Kealoha and Chris Jaeb, inspired volunteers that saw the need for an organization that put sustainability at its core. Kealoha and Jaeb wanted to develop an innovative and holistic method for approaching the challenges the island is facing. The result has been a framework that merges the traditional Hawaiian values of aloha andmalama `aina with contemporary principles of sustainability. Since its inception, Malama Kaua`i has grown into an organization of three full-time staff and an extensive island-wide network of volunteers.
What we value
To us, the word "sustainability" goes beyond simply sustaining our resources. Ultimately, we envision a Kaua`i where the `aina (environment) is healthy, people enjoy a high quality of life, the sense of community is strong, and culture is respected and perpetuated.
We look for solutions that take into account the four pillars of sustainability, what we call "the quadruple bottom line"-- environment, cutlure, economy and society. We consider the interrelatedness of all issues and the need for a holistic approach.
Description
What we do
To realize our vision, we seek to malama, or take care of, Kaua`i and the people who call Kaua`i home. Rooted in the core value of aloha `aina (love and connection to the land), we advocate, educate, and drive action towards a sustainable Kaua`i.
