Welcome to the Next Wave
Next Wave is a national movement founded by our parent union, AFSCME, to identify and develop future leaders. We’re organizing young & new union activists to recruit, engage and motivate young members to step up and become young leaders.
The Haumana Project
The Haumana Project is a new initiative developed by the Next Wave committee to make sure that our current leaders transfer the valuable lessons and knowledge that they have acquired to the emerging generation of upcoming leaders. The Haumana Project pairs mentors with Next Wave members and fosters relationships for growth and leadership development.
Community Action
HGEA members are a vital part of these islands we call home. Whether it is as a soccer coach, youth group leader, church official or charity volunteer, members donate their time, energy and skills to improve everyone's quality of life.
HGEA's community action program improves the union's visibility in the community and increases the public's understanding of and support for HGEA.
