Educating the public in environmental conservation is not only crucial towards securing and recruiting volunteers, but it is also important in creating a culture of awareness and appreciation for our natural resources.
Pono Pacific is committed to education; to increasing the public’s awareness of environmental conservation issues, practices, native ecosystems and species, and ways by which they can contribute to the overall health of Hawaii’s environment. Pono Pacific can help coordinate and develop curriculum and programs to assist you or your organization with environmental outreach.
Our experiences in educational programming include the development and coordination of the Hawaii Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC). We have assisted in bringing this program to the youth of Hawaii since 2001 and recently have transitioned programming to a non-profit, Kupu. To get involved in one of the many youth programs offered by Kupu please visit their website at www.kupuhawaii.org
Pono Pacific has successfully assisted in perpetuating and growing projects through grant writing. Pono Pacific’s staff can guide you as a land owner or organization in identifying grants and assisting with the planning and writing of grants. Pono Pacific has been successful in writing for foundation funding, federal, state, and county grants.
