Our mission is to improve and honor the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender non-conforming, non-binary, aikane, mahu, mahu wahine, and mahu kane people; as well as to enhance a mutual understanding and acceptance of all people. AMP is committed to accomplishing this goal via education, sharing cultural values, and increasing awareness and visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies in Hawaii.

Our organization’s main endeavor is planning, fundraising, staffing and holding an annual pride festival in June. The events leading up to and including the festival bring together members of the LGBTQIA+ community, allies, friends, supporters, elected officials, and the general public to celebrate and bring visibility to the island’s LGBTQIA+ community. Pride events are planned to promote acceptance, integration, diversity, connection, and celebration. A recurring theme of all AMP activities and meetings is “inclusion” where everyone is welcome and are treated with dignity and respect.
