Welcome to Project Hōkūlani & CLD-TEAMS
The overarching goal of Project Hōkūlani & CLD-TEAMS is to support Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and Filipino middle and high school students enter into postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields through a culturally responsive, strength- and work-based enrichment program.
What We Do
Serve Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and Filipino youth and their families throughout Hawaiʻi, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands
- Middle & High School Students: our student program focuses on STEM exploration within Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander and Filipino culture and hands-on activities; college preparation and dual credit opportunities; paid internships; and mentoring.
- ʻOhana/Families: Throughout the academic year, we provide family gatherings that prepare high school parents and families with college tips and resources; strategies to help children learn science at home; and other culture-based science activities.
