O’ahu Resilience Hub Summit Overview

Join us for a two-day gathering designed to strengthen, connect, and equip Resilience Hubs across O’ahu. This summit will support both new and experienced hubs with foundational skills, practical tools, community-building practices, and next steps for becoming part of a coordinated islandwide network.

Participants will explore the basics of being a hub, strengthen skills in communication, training, resource coordination, volunteer management, emergency planning, and team-building, and deepen a shared sense of community and kuleana. 

The summit also includes opportunities to connect with youth leaders, learn from the Hub Learning Community, prepare for hurricane season, and identify next steps for local activation and long-term resilience. 

Hubs will also have the opportunity to be invited to join Vibrant Hawaiʻi’s Coordinated Resilience Hub Network — OR learn how to start up their own network.

Join us for our first ever O’ahu Islandwide Resilience Hub Summit!
