Parents And Children Together has been providing Hawaii’s most vulnerable residents with desperately needed social services since 1968. Each year these services help 15,000 parents, children, individuals and families survive, thrive and become contributing members of our diverse neighborhoods  and communities. 

We started our journey as a single Head Start program at The Towers at Kuhio Park, formally known as Kuhio Park Terrace (KPT) and we’ve evolved into a multi-faceted organization with over 400 employees.  We are one of Hawaii’s largest and leading social services nonprofit. We help parents and children in need establish meaningful and healthy relationships, and we create support systems that empower people who often have nowhere else to turn.

We serve a mission of working together with Hawaii's children, individuals, and families to create safe and promising futures. We believe in building the relationships that matter most!

1. Early Childhood Education
2. Domestic Violence Prevention and Intervention
3. Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention and Treatment
4. Behavioral Health Support
