Welcome to Project Hōkūlani 

The overarching goal of Project Hōkūlani is to support all middle and high school students to enter into postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields through a  strength- and work-based enrichment program.

What We Do

Serve youth and their families throughout Hawaiʻi

  • Our student program focuses on STEM exploration 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 science activities.
