On August 28, 2024, Commit to Keiki hosted its 2nd Annual Partnership Breakfast with Governor Josh Green M.D. and First Lady Jaime Kanani Green. Alongside U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda, Kauaʻi Mayor Derek Kawakami, representatives from the City and County of Honolulu, Maui County and Hawaiʻi County, and the Commit to Keiki Steering Committee, the breakfast provided an opportunity for state and local leaders to discuss strategies to improve outcomes for Hawaiʻi’s youngest keiki and families.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the devastating Maui wildfires that swept through our community on August 8, 2023, we pause to reflect on the journey of recovery and resilience that has unfolded over the past year. The fires, which tragically destroyed over 2,200 structures and caused approximately $5.5 billion in damages, left a profound impact on our community and families, particularly our young keiki.

The Association for Infant Mental Health Hawaiiʻi (AIMH HI) is offering free confidential infant and early childhood mental health consultation services for statewide providers who are serving keiki impacted by the Maui wildfires.

We are pleased to unveil Commit to Keiki newest graphic, a visual representation of our three critical priorities: child care and early learning, early childhood mental health, and family violence prevention.

Established in 1947, Imua Family Services is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) committed to serving the early childhood developmental needs of children and their families by providing inclusive CARE services and PLAY programs that stimulate curiosity and motivate learning at developmentally appropriate levels.
