Mālama Learning Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Hawai‘i. MLC evolved as a collaborative response to serve two area needs: Kapolei High School (KHS) wanted to build a performing arts auditorium for the community, and an environmental group wanted to establish a conservation learning center. Community members joined the effort and the resulting “hybrid” is MLC, a private non-profit organization envisioned as a place in West O‘ahu that brings art, science, conservation, and culture together to promote sustainable living throughout Hawai‘i.

We are planning to construct a green building located on three acres on the northwest tip of the campus of Kapolei High School. This site was originally designated for a school auditorium. The Mālama Learning Center and Kapolei High School will be independently administered but fully integrated at an operational level. In the mean time, Kapolei High has graciously allowed us to use a portable building on campus that is our home-base of operations.
