Message From Founder, Kylee Hamamoto
Working with Ke'elikolani Middle School is an important facet of our work. WeGo! addresses the needs of Ke'elikolani students to the best of our abilities, equipping them with tools to aid them in their success in high school and beyond. Therefore, our workshops blends key skills to support their growth as community leaders. Such skills include: literacy (and financial literacy), creativity and expression, analytics and calculations, and more. Thank you for contributing to our mission, and we turn toward your continued support to empower girls everywhere in Hawaii.
