HOKALI

Online platform for vetted after-school programs

Overview

Hokali.co consolidates and manages after-school programs and day camps for schools and parents through a single platform. It enables online payments and access to a wide range of programs, reducing schools’ administrative workload. Instructors are vetted with background checks and safety training (CPR/First Aid, abuse prevention, concussion awareness) to ensure safe student experiences, and Hokali.co can arrange emergency replacements when needed. Revenue comes from commissions on program fees booked through the platform, with the goal of making it easier for schools to offer diverse, safe extracurricular options.
