Aloha Friends and Supporters,

When We Shine Foundation is committed to teaching arts education in the classroom and community with a focus on environmental stewardship and leadership. The arts empower students and teachers to communicate, create, collaborate, and to connect with lifelong learning experiences.
After five years of successfully working in 8 public schools with thousands of students, we see the positive impact of giving our keiki a voice to express their ideas on the environment, their community, and their hopes for the future. Our goal is to create Arts Integrated programs in all of Maui's public schools!
Here are a few of the projects we completed in 2022:
In 2023, When We Shine Foundation will be expanding to serve  more local schools, create a Professional Development Summit for teachers and provide training to engage more teaching artists over the next three years. 
Help us empower and inspire our keiki and educators by giving during our fall fundraiser. You can donate through Paypal on the left or Venmo on the right, just click or scan!

  

Thank You for Supporting Arts in the Classroom!   

Besides donations, here are some FUN ways you can enjoy our music and help us create more arts integration opportunities for our young artists!
1. Stream our music in your car or at home: "Hey Alexa, play music by Voices of the Earth."
3. Share our streaming channels and music videos with friends and family.
In 2023, When We Shine Foundation will be expanding to serve more of the 30 public schools on Maui, create a Professional Development Summit for teachers, and provide training to engage more teaching artists over the next three years.
