The Back to School Bash
Operation Backpack in July 2024 provided 200 keiki from Haleiwa, Waialua and Ko‘olauloa with new backpacks and school supplies for the 2024 school year. This support was provided by the Turtle Bay Foundation and The Collective Good Foundation, Areté Collective’s philanthropic organization.
Cognizant of the responsibility that comes with new development, Areté Collective is dedicated to supporting environmental, educational, and cultural initiatives on the North Shore.
We look forward to working together with the community to strike a balance between progress and preservation.
