Palama Settlement, a local non-profit, community-based social service agency, has for 127 years been serving the Kalihi and Palama neighborhoods of Honolulu, Hawaii. Their focus has been building up those with the greatest needs in this region, creating a wide range of educational, recreational, athletic, cultural, social, health, and community-building programs and services for children, youth, adults, and senior citizens. Such is the impact of Palama Settlement on the lives of underserved individuals here, that professional athlete, Allex Austin, a Hawaiian from these parts, was drawn right back to his roots where he seeks to make a difference – and is partnering with Palama Settlement.
