HCAP Training Day 2014
HCAP Changing and Progressing

HCAP Training Day is a time for HCAP employees from every program to gather, engage in conversation, and learn about all the programs and services offered by HCAP. Staff from each program gave a presentation on how their programs have changed and progressed throughout the years. Social media consultant, Roxanne Darling shared HCAP’s social media presence, strategy, and purpose, as well as debuted the new HCAP website. Long-time advocate and community leader, Alex Santiago addressed the HCAP ohana on the importance of civic engagement and making their voices heard in Hawaii. As employees of a community action agency, we are gifted with being in a position to empower the community and encourage everyone to advocate for a better Hawaii. Last but not least, HCAP honored its employees, whom have served between 5 and 40 years at the organization. HCAP would not have been able to progress as it has, if it were not for our passionate and dedicated staff.

Head Start’s Main Office Has Moved!

HCAP Head Start hosted an Open House for the new Dillingham location. With participation from neighboring organizations, the blessing was a great success. We are thankful to have such strong community support and resources.

Constituent Services Representative from the Office of Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard visits HCAP

On Wednesday, April 9, Jay King, Constituent Services Representative from the Office of Congress-woman Tulsi Gabbard, visited HCAP. Mr. King had reached out to HCAP to learn more about the agency’s programs and services, particularly in the 2nd Congressional District. HCAP’s Executive Management Team gave a thorough presentation about the agency, agency locations, and the programs and services available to clients in need. Mr. King, who has a social services background, impressed HCAP management with his knowledge and understanding of the issues, as well as his generous offer of remaining engaged with the issues HCAP faces and providing assistance wherever possible. HCAP is very grateful to Mr. King for his time and to Congresswoman Gabbard for her commitment to supporting programs that help people in need in our communities.
