What We Do
Palama Settlement's mission is to provide facilities, services and programs to support, improve and positively enhance the cultural, social, educational, physical and emotional well being of the individuals, families, and communities surrounding Palama Settlement.

We are a private, non-profit, community-based social service agency serving the Kalihi and Palama neighborhoods for over 100 years (est. 1896).

Palama Settlement offers a wide range of educational, recreational, athletic, cultural, social, health, and community building programs and services for children, youth, adults, and senior citizens.

We are continually looking to develop new programs and services to respond to the changing landscape of socioeconomic needs in the community.
