Takeaways from our first Pacific Islander focused Listening Session:

Our Pacific Islander Community is rich in strengths and resilience, yet, like all communities, there are specific areas where additional support can make a meaningful difference. Some of the key needs that have been expressed include more inclusive representation of Pacific Islanders, increased awareness of available resources, assistance in connecting with one another, and resources for higher education.

In 2023, we hosted our first Pacific Islander focused Listening Session with members of our Tongan Community in Massachusetts.

Our Commitment to Action:

We are dedicated to addressing these community needs with purposeful action. By centering the voices of our Pacific Islander community, we strive to:

  • Advocate for greater representation and visibility.

  • Expand access to community resources and services.

  • Foster stronger connections within our community.

  • Support pathways to higher education and empowerment.

This is an ongoing effort, and we remain committed to listening, learning, and working alongside our Pasifika community to create meaningful change.
