About Lokahi
Lokahi has spent the past two decades mobilizing people to get involved with things like clean water initiatives, protecting civil rights, fighting global poverty and AIDS in Africa, protecting the environment, and promoting voter registration and education. We get people to realize their ability to be agents for social change and build the support for our partner organizations that leads to successful campaigns.
We started out running community outreach programs for a local organization in Los Angeles in 2002, and from there branched out and started doing work on college campuses and concert tours with organizations such as the ONE Campaign, Partners in Health, Oxfam America, HeadCount, and (RED). Currently, we continue to work with local and national organizations, providing the ‘on the ground event activation’ at everything from music festivals and concert tours to film festivals and community events, as well as running campus and community outreach engagement programs, and providing training and consulting services.
Lokahi was formed by Brande Jackson, a Long Beach, CA native with a background in organizing, education and design. She blends her knowlege of human development and learning with an understanding of marketing, organizing and strategic planning.

Our model
We pride ourselves in being able to take ideas from the conceptual to the tangible. Many of our partners are start ups, established organizations launching a new program, or a campaign/initiative that primarily exists online or in media. We also work with bands and artists that are interested in creating a fan engagement campaign to compliment their art. Lokahi takes the ‘meta’ idea and translates that into an on the ground, real presence.
We can create collateral materials that connect, recruit and train volunteers, set up community engagement opportunities and design, implement and manage outreach campaigns that build name recognition and support.
Our model is based on sustainability. We strive to provide valuable, cost effective services to our clients, meaningful opportunities to the volunteers we work with, and valuable information to the fans and supporters we engage with.
We are a results focused organization. Our programs are not vague marketing efforts. They are targeted campaigns with focused, tangible goals and results. Be it an increase in membership, creating a more active online community via in person recruitment, promoting policy initiatives, collateral distribution, building an email list or fundraising, our work always has an important end result in mind.
This is effective one on one, peer based outreach that produces tangible, long lasting results.
This form of engagement works: our teams have literally talked to, engaged and enlisted hundreds of thousands of individuals to support our partner organizations, and have recruited and trained thousands of volunteers nationwide. We are proud of the legacy our work has left with our client organizations.
