Aloha,

Beginning Monday, August 1, 2022, masks will no longer be required to enter ‘Ōlelo facilities. However, we still encourage the use of masks and kindly ask everyone to be respectful of every person’s comfort level. If circumstances change, we may choose to reinstate mandatory mask usage or other COVID-19 protocols to ensure the health and safety of members, visitors, and staff.

We look forward to seeing you at one of our locations,

ʻŌlelo Community Media

Update 5/13/22

Aloha,

We continue to be grateful for all our members and supporters who produced programs for our community during these unprecedented times.

We are emailing to let you know that ‘Ōlelo will be relaxing its COVID-19 policies beginning Monday, May 16th. We will continue to require masking at all ‘Ōlelo facilities, but we will no longer require proof of vaccination status, nor will we require a temperature check or contact tracing information upon entry. If circumstances change, we may reinstate these or other protocols to ensure the health and safety of members, visitors, and staff.

As a reminder, the Māpunapuna Media Center’s hours have shifted to 12-8p (M-F) and the Nānākuli Media Center’s hours are 3-8p (M-Th). The Engagement Hubs at Kaimukī, Kāneʻohe, Wahiāwa and Waipahu offer services By Appointment from 4-8p (M-F). All media center-related matters, such as reservations or program submissions, can be directed to our centralized number at Māpunapuna – (808) 237-2140.

Mahalo,

ʻŌlelo Community Media

Update 3/24/22

Aloha,

We hope you are well. Thank you for your continued support through the many challenges we have all encountered the past two years. During this period, we took the opportunity to reassess our services to see how we can offer them more efficiently. Beginning April 11, we will offer services island-wide from two Media Centers and four Engagement Hubs. The two full-service Media Centers at Māpunapuna and Nānākuli will accept walk-in visitors, but we do encourage you to make reservations at least one hour prior by phone or via MCM.

‘Ōlelo’s current Covid-19 restrictions will remain in place at all locations for the time being. We will continue to evaluate requirements as restrictions are lifted. Curbside services will still be available.

Media Centers:  Effective Monday, April 11, 2022:

After a trial period, we will assess which days are utilized most and adjust windows of availability to be able to better deliver services where needed.

In addition to production resources, we offer these free services to help you on your production journey.

FREE SERVICES!

 
If we haven’t seen you recently, we look forward to reconnecting with you soon at one of our locations!

‘Olelo Community Media

Update 9/14/21

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, ʻŌlelo Community Media has adjusted policies to protect the health and safety of you and our staff. Effective September 15, 2021, all members, volunteers, and guests doing business with ‘Ōlelo Community Media over the age of 12 will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination prior to entering an ʻŌlelo facility.  If a visitor has not been vaccinated or refuses to disclose their vaccination status, ʻŌlelo can arrange outdoor curbside services limited to the following:

• Checking equipment in/out
• Dropping off programs
• Administrative paperwork

For Mini Studio and editing service alternatives, please speak with your Media Service Center Manager.

Upon each entry, your physical CDC-issued vaccination card, or a photo of the card on a mobile device, or the digital SMART Health card are acceptable forms of proof of vaccination. “Fully Vaccinated” is considered 14 days from final injection. A government issued ID will also be required.

We will continue to follow strict and frequent sanitization procedures. At all times, everyone (staff and visitors) is required to:

• Wear a facial covering over your nose and mouth. Face shields are allowed in addition to a facial covering.
• Maintain appropriate social distancing.

Because of the fluidity of the situation, new updates will be sent out via email or on social media. Updates of our COVID-19 policies can also be found at olelo.org/Covid19. Download our new mobile app from the App Store or Google Play to stay informed on the latest happenings. We want to emphasize that we are always here to help.

‘Ōlelo Staff and Management Team

Aloha ʻŌlelo members,

Due to the Governor’s mandate effective 8/30/21, proof of full/partial vaccination or test negative for COVID-19 is required for everyone who steps foot on a DOE campus. This mandate applies to staff, members and guests planning to visit any ʻŌlelo Media Service Center on a DOE campus. You will need to fill out and submit a form to the office before reporting to your center. This form inquires about vaccination or testing and submitted to the school office before you come to the center. You may be required to present proof of vaccination or testing so please be advised to bring your card (or a digital scan/photo of card), or testing documents with you.

The Media Service Centers are still open to the public and adhering to COVID safety protocols.
