About The Huliauapaʻa AmeriCorps Program

The Huliauapaʻa AmeriCorps Program began on September 21, 2020, and will conclude on December 31, 2021. The Program was focused on building the capacity of ʻāina-stewarding non-profit organizations and other agencies to care for our beloved wahi kūpuna. Nine haumāna worked full-time at Partner Wahi throughout the paeʻāina. Participants worked on programs and initiatives to enhance volunteerism and community engagement, and also received training from Huliauapaʻa staff in culturally-grounded, place-based resource stewardship.
