Commission adopts five 2026 goals focused on youth voice and safety
Summary
The Commission on Children and Youth approved five strategic goals for 2026 — building youth voice and community voice, improving advocacy understanding, increasing child and youth safety, and sustaining action — and agreed to align work with county and state early childhood initiatives.
On April 20, 2026 the Maui County Commission on Children and Youth unanimously adopted five long-term goals for 2026. Chair Cayla Kutaka moved to solidify goals including building youth voice, building community voice, building understanding in advocacy, increasing safety for children and youth, and sustained action; Vice Chair Paul Tonnessen seconded and the motion passed (6-0; 1 absence; 2 vacancies).
Members discussed aligning the goals with the Maui County Early Childhood Resource Center's 2025 data walk and with ongoing county, state and federal initiatives. Commissioners also agreed to survey older youth directly to gather input on priorities and participation methods.
