Awareness and Education

Love Pono’s mission is “to provide a safe environment to help the Leeward Community College community build and maintain healthy relationships through education, intervention, campus and community resources, and counseling.”

We believe in the dignity and potential of each individual and the power of that belief to help people learn and grow. We are committed to providing an educational environment that accepts people as they are and fosters the development of each student’s unique talents.

We believe awareness and education will?cultivate a campus culture of responsibility and respect, ultimately preventing interpersonal violence. We can achieve this goal by engaging 香蕉视频 and members of our campus community in critical conversations about what we can all do to prevent interpersonal violence and intervene when it happens.

Interpersonal violence occurs when a person uses power and control over another through physical, sexual, or emotional threats or actions. Love Pono, as a part of the?, addresses these different types of interpersonal violence:

All members of our campus community deserve a work and an educational environment free from harassment or bullying based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.
