About Us
WELLNESS PROGRAMS
This Is How We Create Transformation
Spread Your Light is an Oʻahu-based organization dedicated to empowering kids through wellness and creativity. By meeting kids where they are and giving them space to move, create, and express themselves, we help build confidence, resilience, and connection, skills that last far beyond the classroom.
We currently serve the Hale Pono Boys & Girls Club in ʻEwa Beach, offering Keiki Wellness Programs throughout the school year. Our signature program is a 12–24 week curriculum led by local experts and volunteers who guide children through hands-on experiences designed to support both emotional and creative growth.
From yoga and art to music, movement, and martial arts, more than 100 kids have been introduced to healthy ways of expressing themselves in a safe, supportive environment. Your donation helps these programs run longer and reach deeper ensuring we can continue showing up for our community week after week, all year long.
