About Children & Youth Day

Children & Youth Day happens on the first Sunday of October, each year. This year is the 31st Anniversary which begins on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 10:00am! CYD is a time to recognize the potential and special gifts of our keiki (children) and ‘ōpio (youth). It is a time for them to shine and share their bountiful energy with their community.


Proclamations issued by both the Mayor and City & County of Honolulu were declared for 2023.

Our history

The story of children & Youth Day

In 1993, the Hawai‘i State Legislature and Governor established Children and Youth Day (CYD) in Hawai‘i as the first Sunday of every October to celebrate and honor our children and youth and the special contributions they make to our community. After much community discussion, Act 30 of 1997 was passed to dedicate the entire month of October as Children and Youth Month in Hawai‘i.

CYD History

The lives we impact

Suzanne Chun Oakland

“Hawaii is the first State in the United States of America to establish in law an annual celebration that honors and celebrates our children and youth and the wonderful contributions they make to our world. Mahalo a nui loa to the thousands of people who donate their time and resources to make Hawaii's Children and Youth Day and Month so special for our keiki and ‘ōpio!!!”

HERB LEE, JR.
