WE OFFER A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES
Members work together, sharing interests and skills and helping the community, or just hang out together.
Community Projects
We service the Honolulu community through projects for local non-profit organizations, such as, schools, libraries, community centers, museums and churches. Members get to challenge their design and building skills, work in teams, build camaraderie, increase their social engagement and add meaningful activities to their lives.
Woodworking
Many members come to the shed to build something out of wood. We have a well-equipped wood shop with many tools available for use by our members. We offer training courses for those who would like to learn a new skill, including digital woodworking, box making, ukulele making, and bowl turning, as well as informal “this is how it can be done” member-to-member trainings.
Bicycle Re-cycling
We recondition abandoned and unwanted bicycles. Individuals donate bikes, as do condos to clean out their bike rooms, which we repair into excellent condition. Some of the re-cycled bikes are given to the needy for their transportation needs, the rest are sold to help cover the expenses of running the Shed. Also, re-cycling the bikes, we reduce the number going to land-fills.
We’re open six days a week at

WHY WHAT WE DO MATTERS
Connecting: Working alongside others builds friendships and a sense of belonging. Creating: Making things with our hands keeps one active, engaged and learning. Contributing: Giving back to one’s community adds purpose to life. By providing opportunities for all of these, the Kūpuna Shed contributes to the healthy aging of its members.
