Welcome to
The Ho’oilina Foundation
The purpose of The Ho’oilina Foundation lies in the name of “Ho’oilina” which means legacy in Hawaiian. Our goal is to help leave behind a legacy to the next generation through our 4 pillars which are cultural, educational, health, and service opportunities. Our goal is to provide Polynesian dance classes and workshops where we can pass our culture to the youth.
