Aloha! This is an application for participation in the Hawai'i Green Collar Institute (HGCI) program coordinated by the Mālama Learning Center during the DOE Spring Break for West O'ahu high school students in grades 9-12. The program dates are March 13-17, 2023, in-person from 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM (we will be staying overnight at Camp Pālehua on 3/14). This five-day spring break program will focus on Solution Pathways for Sustainable Agriculture as the Climate Changes. The goal is to expose local students to the breadth of "green" careers in Hawai'i through engaging learning experiences that build capacity and interest in environmental conservation and sustainable food systems. Each day will feature fun lessons, guest speakers, and hands-on activities that foster a connection to people and place. Huaka‘i (field trips) to ʻāina sites will be planned for each day this week, but are subject to change. We will accept qualified applications as we get them so best to apply early!

Please complete this application form using your own words and to the best of your ability as soon as possible. We will continue to recruit until the program is filled so best to apply early! There will be a $25 program fee due to Mālama Learning Center after notification of acceptance into this program to reserve your spot. We will provide transportation to and from our huaka'i sites from Kapolei High School (our meeting location each day).

If you have any questions about the program, please email Chelsey Jay at chelsey@malamalearningcenter.org.

The Hawai'i Green Collar Institute is a program of Mālama Learning Center with support from many partners. This session of HGCI is funded with generous financial support from Kamehameha Schools Hoʻoulu Kaiāulu Program.
