Our Mo’olelo
How it all started…
Kingdom Pathways was founded by Joseph, a retired veteran who served in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Upon returning home, he was devastated to find his beloved coastline in disrepair with burnt-out cars, homelessness, and neglected beaches and unsafe public spaces turned his community into a war zone of a different kind.
Determined to create change, Joe started asking questions and seeking solutions, beginning in his own backyard. His mission to restore the land and revitalize the community became the foundation of Kingdom Pathways, an organization built on aloha ʻāina (love for the land) and kuleana (responsibility).
Our Vision
A Vision for Hawaiʻi’s Tomorrow
At Kingdom Pathways, we are dedicated to restoring environmental health, promoting social equity, and preserving our cultural heritage. Guided by the wisdom of our Kupuna (ancestors) and energized by the strength of our kaiāulu (community), we strive to build a resilient and vibrant Hawaiʻi for future generations.
We believe in leading from where we are—starting with our own backyard. By embracing the idea of *huli the system*, we work from within to create meaningful, lasting change for our people. Central to our mission is empowering the voices of kānaka (Native Hawaiians), ensuring that their perspectives, wisdom, and leadership guide the path forward.
Our goal is to ensure our community receives what it deserves: restored beaches, safe parks, clean water, and an environment where both people and nature can thrive. Together, we are weaving a future rooted in mālama (care), aloha for our ʻāina, and the collective strength of our ʻohana.
