TAUTUA

"ʻO le ala i le pule le tautua."
"Service is the pathway to leadership."
- Alagāʻupu faʻasāmoa
This alagāʻupu faʻasāmoa, or traditional Samoan proverb, underscores the importance of service to our ʻāiga (families), nuʻu (villages), itūmālō (districts), ʻekālēsia (churches), and the atunuʻu (nation). Maintaining the vā fealoaʻi, or harmonious relationships, is an important part of our aganuʻu faʻasāmoa (Samoan culture), which is based on alofa (love, mercy, compassion) and faʻaaloalo (respect).
Our programs are meant to provide our tautua (humble service) to our people, especiall in perpetuating our gagana (language) and aganuʻu (culture). You can find our in-house Samoan language programs and partnerships with collaborating organizations and explore all things concerning Sāmoa, Sāmoans, and our relationships with other Pasifika peoples.
