On October 29 and 30, 2010, the Hawai‘i Green Collar Institute (HGCI) was launched! This new program introduces students from Leeward O'ahu to environmental and climate change issues in their communities and opens doors to future jobs in the environmental or "green collar" careers.
Over four weekends spanning five months (October to March), students will visit sites on O‘ahu to learn about food sustainability, waste and recycling, energy, and the health of our oceans and streams. On these visits, they'll gain hands-on experience with jobs that relate to each site and also interact with professionals to better understand those jobs. They'll also work in teams to complete an educational project that benefits their community.
HGCI is a partnership of the Malama Learning Center and Leeward Community College's Halau ‘Ike O Pu‘uloa.
