CHALLENGE: How do you Honor 100 Years of Service?
The Punahou Parent Faculty Association (PFA) was approaching its 100th year and wanted to commemorate the event in a meaningful way. While many people knew the current activities and successes of the organization, few knew the depth and breadth of the PFA’s incredible work. There was much a wealth of history to share with new members and the public at large.
SOLUTION: A Historic Group Gift with Practical Applications
Good Juju worked with the PFA team to identify notable historic events and created an archival quality art piece. A PFA History map was created and gifted to the school to commemorate PFA’s activities and it’s 100+ years of service to Punahou School. It also serves as a tool to help orient new volunteers.
A community project:
More than 30 individuals contributed to the art, harvesting and selecting relevant historical data.
Good Juju facilitated a 1-day large group work session. Dozens of PFA volunteers shared personal knowledge, insights and memories and read through 100 years of PFA records and meeting minutes. The group worked together to identify significant events and trends. The history map leadership team worked with Good Juju’s design team to refine, organize and prioritize data.

Facilitate team work groups to break down silos.
Good Juju facilitated departmental and inter-departmental work sessions to untangle confusion, identify key issues and obstacles then agree to a singular process for student matriculation and orientation.
Teach with Storymaps.
Our storymap provides an engaging way to present critical information in an easy to absorb way. We applied the metaphor of an ocean journey and created a student journey map that outlined critical tasks, resources and options available to new student applicants. The maps were incorporated into student recruitment materials and in academic course counseling sessions.
