Educate and lead community efforts to remove invasive mangrove along the Hulē‘ia river, re-establish native wetland ecosystems, manage Alakoko Fishpond, and engage the community through environmental stewardship programs that honor Hawaiian culture and values.
Presenting a NEW SHOW on KKCR! We are partnering with Story For All to present Land Stories: Farming and Kaua’i Culture. 9-10am on the Fourth Friday of each month.
Land Stories is about preserving the cultural wealth of Kaua‘i as a basis for building respect and appreciation for one another and the land we share and depend upon. It’s about providing our community with a rich history of this precious land and how to care for it. It’s about building historical perspective and inspiration for present and future generations to sustain, protect, and care for our beloved ‘aina.
This program is funded by a grant from the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, through support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
You can still give to KKCR
We did not meet our $60,000 goal for our Laulima Fund Drive. Not from a void of care for community media and local content.
But because our listeners care A LOT.
With the events in Maui consuming our news, politics, and fundraising efforts, conscious and informed listeners like YOU have invested your already strapped donating dollars into helping our Maui ‘ohana heal.
And we think that’s pretty great.
Don’t forget to keep KKCR in your minds when reaching out to give.
Many hands make light work.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GIVE TO KKCR! EACH DONATION GOES A LONG WAY TOWARDS FREE SPEECH, GREAT MUSIC, AND THE CELEBRATION OF HAWAIIAN CULTURE
Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa
In Search of the Wisdom and Heartbeat of Ancient Kaua‘i
– Presented by Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua
Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa is a cultural educational series which highlights Kaua‘i’s wahi pana, or storied and celebrated places, through mele pule, mele oli and mele hula – prayers, chants and dances that have been entrusted to the lineage of Kaipuwai. Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua is a revered cultural practitioner and master teacher of traditional hula, born and raised on Kaua‘i. As the hiapo, or firstborn in her family, she was reared in the custom of hānai – freely given to be nurtured and groomed in hula by her maternal grandmother, Helen Kaipuwai Kekua Waiau. It is through her, that Kēhaulani inherited her family’s generations-old lineage and practices of Kaua‘i hula traditions.
Volume I & II CDs are available as mahalo gifts for your $50 donation to KKCR. Please email gm@kkcr.org for a digital version.
Volume I: Mai Ka Piko O Kaua‘i Wai‘ale‘ale: The Umbilicus of Sacred Life Cycles

KKCR STRATEGIC PLAN
Updating KKCR’s Strategic Plan will help us develop the right goals and targets for KKCR and help keep everyone’s efforts focused on meeting them.
As stated by Jerry Brocklehurst in the current Strategic Plan: “By joining together, we can all help the station become what it wants to be and what the community needs it to be – a forum for overlooked, suppressed, and under-represented voices, issues and music, free from the control of commercial and political interests, that reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua‘i’s unique community and promotes the creative, cultural, and political vitality of the community… a station that also preserves, perpetuates, and celebrates Hawaiian culture and that stimulates, educates, and entertains its audience and provides relevant, accurate, and timely information throughout beautiful days on Kaua‘i as well as in times of crisis.” Click here to view the current Strategic Plan.
We want your input. Please complete the Strategic Plan Survey:
Mahalo for your participation in shaping KKCR’s future!
