Meet the New Faces of Change in Hawai‘i
Some will run for office. Others will lead in advocacy and community work. All are stepping up to help shape Hawai‘i’s future.

We are proud to welcome the fourth cohort of Partners for Democracy, a diverse group of individuals from across Hawai‘i who are stepping forward to strengthen civic leadership and drive meaningful change in their communities. Each brings a unique perspective and a shared commitment to addressing the issues that matter most to our state.
Partners for Democracy is a nonpartisan civic-leadership development program created by Pacific Resource Partnership. The program is designed for emerging and established leaders who want to turn their commitment to public service into real-world impact. Through classroom instruction, issue-focused sessions with subject-matter experts, networking, and hands-on work study, participants learn how to develop and execute effective political and public-policy advocacy campaigns.
