Supporting Hawaiʻi’s youth and families through technology, mentorship, and opportunity.
Akamai Youth is a Hawaiʻi based nonprofit. Our focus is simple. We support youth with limited access to technology through hands on learning, caring mentors, and community support that feels local and real.
We’re here for keiki and ʻohana. Technology moves fast, and not every family has the same time, access, or support. Akamai Youth helps bridge that gap in a way that feels welcoming. No judgment, no pressure, and no assumptions.
What families can expect
Our programs are designed to be approachable, practical, and supportive. We focus on real skills, real relationships, and steady progress, not hype.
