We have removed the Community Membership option to simplify the membership process, as it offered no additional access beyond what is available to the general public. We welcome all community members to stay active with the O’ahu CoC! Notices of all O’ahu CoC events and meetings are shared through our newsletter and email communications. If you’d like to join our email list, please email us at planning@partnersincareoahu.org.
