About Travel2Change:
travel2change is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that imagines travel as a catalyst for creating positive impacts. We believe that by exploring the world, we can better it. Our mission is to make travel meaningful and beneficial by providing unique opportunities that the typical traveler would not ordinarily experience. By offering opportunities that achieve sustainability, we empower local communities to benefit from travel.
travel2change aspires to connect travelers with locals who provide unique undertakings that directly give back to Hawaiian culture and nature. travel2change activities are hands-on, off the beaten path and authentic, and include for example cultural walking tours, adaptive swimming and surfing, stream restorations, beach cleanups combined with yoga sessions, or tree planting with hikes.
Our events are the sweet spot between volunteering and something fun.

We’re heading back to our birthplace for a FREE Improv Comedy Show!
Back in 2012, improvhi.com was created in a little Kaka’ako co-working space located at 685 Auahi street. When that place closed down, improvhi.com returned to that same address to ANOTHER co-working space to teach classes and hold shows. Once again…685 Auahi Street calls us back to the arms of their new tenants…MORNING BREW!
We LOVE the Morning Brew team and CAN’T WAIT to partner up for a one night only (for now) comedy show!
FREE! FREE! FREE TO MORNING BREW CUSTOMERS!
Grab a drink, eat a snack and laugh your booty off with us.
PARKING: SALT Parking Garage or Street.
Recommended for 18 and over.
We’re bring back the ‘Improvhi Test Kitchen!’ A casual showcase where local folks whip up an original and delicious improv or sketch comedy recipe and YOU get to taste it!
Got an improv form that you’ve been wanting to try? Or maybe a sketch that you want to put on its feet?
Come on by and test it out. Open improv jam to follow. NEWBIES VERY WELCOME!
Sign ins begin a 7pm at Arts.
Each form or sketch will get about 12 minutes to play. Possibly more depending on the amount of sign ups.
Not too sweet.
Not too rancid.
Always original.
Come out and support local comedy and the arts!
