For the upcoming Oct. 9–13 fall intersession, The Kohala Center will offer two programs for island youth in partnership with Kamehameha Schools.
The Ke Kumu Aina Alakai Opio Program offers high school students leadership and career experience through fieldwork in the Kohala Watershed. Students will be eligible to receive up to $250 for successfully participating in field days and completing additional program requirements, including an education and career pathway plan.
The fall break program also gives middle school students opportunities to learn about forestry and watershed conservation. Participants will learn to identify common native forest plants and their uses, understand the environments in which they grow, and engage in scientific field research on daily field trips into the Kohala watershed, hands-on workshops and aina-based activities.
