We are recruiting high school students in grades 10-12 from Leeward O‘ahu, particularly from the Kapolei and ‘Ewa regions, to learn about environmental issues in Hawai‘i, ecosystem and community resilience, and next generation stewardship. This three-day session during Fall break will focus on 'Ewa 'Āina Inventory - Environmental Issues & Careers in 'Ewa moku. Each day will feature fun lessons, guest speakers, and hands-on activities that foster a connection to place. Huaka'i (field trips) to sites in 'Ewa will be tentatively planned for Winter Break if it's safe to do so. Apply today!

​Please complete the online application.

There will be a refundable $25 program fee due to Mālama Learning Center after notification of acceptance into this program to reserve your spot. This fee will be refunded for full participation in the three online dates. Students from the 'Ewa and Kapolei regions will be given preference to align with grant objectives from the Kamehameha Schools 'Ewa Region that are subsidizing most costs. Students from other districts are welcome to apply and will be accepted based on space availability.
