Research Season is open. We are listening before we build.

Our focused 90-day research window runs through October 20, 2026. If more time is needed to gather enough meaningful insight, research and listening may continue beyond that date.

What is available now.

For now, we are keeping things simple and easy to follow. You are welcome to read through the materials, choose the letter that fits you best, complete the survey if you feel led, or share manaʻo that may help shape the work ahead.

Ola Compass is also learning about facilities, professionals, organizations, programs, and resources throughout Hawaiʻi to better understand what support exists and what each may offer. This research supports awareness and resource navigation; it is not a ranking, endorsement, or evaluation of any individual entity.

We also recognize that Hawaiʻi’s community may gain meaningful stories, education, ideas, and possible partnership opportunities from survivors, caregivers, professionals, organizations, and programs across the Continental U.S. These perspectives can broaden learning while Hawaiʻi’s own voices and needs remain at the center of Ola Compass.
