Leadership Kaua`i is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and inspiring Kaua`i’s future leaders. Their mission is to ensure a source of qualified and committed leaders on Kaua`i through effective leadership programs of which The Leadership Challenge's (TLC) 5 Exemplary Practices and 30 Behaviors serve as the foundational curriculum. Since the graduation of the inaugural adult class of 2005, over 173 adults and 114 youth, along with 1000 students and faculty at Kapa`a High School have received training on TLC. Today, many graduates are serving in leadership roles throughout our island communities and are guided by these principles to help create a better tomorrow for Kaua`i. Recently, Leadership Kaua`i has received funding from the Saltchuk Giving Trax program to support the expansion of the youth leadership development to the middle and high schools building on the successful program launched at Kapa'a High School. Principal Daniel Hamada acknowledges the remarkable difference in the student's behaviors and academic outcomes which he attributes to the leadership classes facilitated by LK in partnership with Kupu A'e's President Mason Chock. Also, funding was recently awarded by the Hawaii Tourism Authority Kukulu Ola: Living Hawaiian Culture Program in partnership with Na Kalai Wa'a 'O Kaua'i Namahoe. The goal is to create opportunities for cross-generational learning about the role of Polynesian voyagers and their impact and relevancy to contemporary society; also, to build leadership curriculum and networks and community support for Kaua'i's Polynesian canoe Namahoe. The Namahoe is destined to be a floating classroom for Kaua`i's youth, residents and visitors. More exciting projects for Leadership Kaua`i include the revival of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Camp at Kokee's CCC grounds on February 27-March 1st; the upcoming Connect 5 Youth Leadership Camp for middle schoolers on April 17-18 th ; and the graduation of the current adult class 2015 on June 12th.

LK Adult Class 2014, individuals selected by their employers for the 10-month course, are moving swiftly into the 2nd half of their annual leadership development program. They opened the year at Salt Pond, then up to Koke'e for their overnight retreat, followed by a nail-biting rope climbing day at the Kupu A'e Ropes Course, engaged in relatively mild physical but intense leadership practice development day at Kauai Community College, changed it up to getting energized and the art of story telling at StoryBook Theatre, and to their most recent class at Kauaʻi Island Utility Cooperative for an in-depth look at themselves while while planning their community project. They are doing a terrific job staying on track with the LK curriculum and designing a much needed community project, all while keeping up with their professional obligations and taking care of their families. Be sure to give them a supportive "Hi 5" or hug of encouragement to finish out the year with a bang! Being an LK Student may look like it's all fun and games, actually it is. And not. This journey requires guts to go within, to decide whether or not to risk bringing forward the leader within. Each of member of Class 2014 has chosen to dig deep and the fruits of their labor is almost ripe. Here are photos from their first half of the year. Next up is Challenge the Process on the Huleia River and County Council Chambers. Imua! Class of 2014!
