Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs

Here are some of our programs, activities and resources for Hawaii’s keiki.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cash Canyon  is the newest children’s consumer education program at DCCA. In Spring 2015, a troop of actors will go to Hawaii’s public schools to educate them about money, savings and consumer information at an early age. We believe that giving children the tools at an early age will help provide for more informed consumers in our state. Click here for more.

 

 

 

 

 

LifeSmarts is the ultimate consumer challenge for middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students.

 

The Division of Consumer Advocacy has its own Keiki Korner
