Band Haven,  A 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit on the Big Island of Hawaii

Our mission is to empower and inspire the youth of the Big Island of Hawaii by providing a safe, inclusive space for young musicians to come together, collaborate, and showcase their talents. Through live performances, mentorship, and access to resources, we aim to nurture the creativity and artistic growth of teenagers, fostering a vibrant community of emerging artists. Our goal is to create opportunities for youth to express themselves through music and the arts, build confidence, and develop the skills needed for a future in the creative industries.

About us

Band Haven, was born from the love of my two son's and their Creativity within the Arts and Music. In the Past few years, seeing the Big Island music scene come alive again after COVID, has been an amazing experience to watch and have my sons be apart of.  I Felt there was a small puka that needed to be filled within the local scene. That is a place for all kids, to be able to perform out side of school, for and with their peers. Please see below, our vision of where we would like to take this Non Profit with the help of you. For the community, by the community.

Band Haven's Business Model

Please take a minute to look over our bullet points of where we would like take our newly established non profit in the present and where we would like to go long term.

 

Present:

  • Put on Live Concerts, monthly for the Community, to come watch young bands. 1st show scheduled for 1/25/25 with 4 Bands!
  • Provide open mic nights for teenagers, to come, showcase their talent, jam with their peers, hopefully forging connections and creating new bands.
  • Provide Keiki Markets with live music, so our talented young entrepreneurs, can also showcase their talents.

FUTURE:

  • Provide a small community center, located in Pahoa, Hawaii. That will give kids access to a safe place to hang out. Have access to instruments and all the equipment to practice and perform.
  • Provide equipment at the community center for bands to meet up and practice and rehearse.
  • Provide in the community center access to mentorship and teaching opportunities from vetted adults to hold lessons.
  • Provide access to a community center not only in East Hawaii, but West Hawaii as well.

Thank you for taking the time to read through our webpage, and hopefully learned a little bit more about our Vision here at Band Haven.

We would also love to take any used equipment or instruments off your hands!
