A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability (2nd partnership):
In the 2021-22 school year, Hawaiʻi-CC and UH-Hilo started hosting monthly huakaʻi (work day, journey) in and around Waipiʻo Valley with Pōhāhā I Ka Lani. Students, faculty, and staff from both institutions participate and mālama ʻāina (take care of the land). Activities include weeding, invasive species removal, harvesting, and planting. Hawaiʻi-CC and UH-Hilo community members contributed more than 270 hours of community service for Pōhāhā I Ka Lani in the 2021-22 school year. Hawaiʻi-CC, UH-Hilo, and Pōhāhā I Ka Lani plan to continue this partnership next school year.
