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 knowledge 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 curriculums 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 (YCC). We have assisted in bringing this program to the youth of Hawaii since 2001. In addition to educating youth about environmental conservation through hands-on experiences, each student in the summer YCC program has provided over 300 hours of man-power and each student in the year-round YCC program has contributed 1700 man-hours to conservation efforts throughout Hawaii. To get involved in this program or to learn more please visit the YCC website at www.hawaiiycc.com.
