Aloha kākou 🤍

We are opening our Annual Scholarship Fund to support the keiki who need this program the most.

At Pono Outdoor Program, we believe every child deserves access to ʻāina-based education—hands in the soil, feet in the mud, and hearts connected to nature. But not all families are in a place to afford this experience, especially those impacted by recent hardships, including flood-affected families who have had to withdraw.

Our goal this year is to fully sponsor 10 keiki—giving them the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through this work.

We are a member-supported association, not government or federally funded. This means it is our community—our village—that makes this possible.

Your contribution goes directly toward:
• Monthly tuition support for scholarship students
• Essential gear and supplies
• Continued access to outdoor, culturally rooted education

If you feel called to support, no amount is too small. Every dollar helps us plant seeds in the next generation.

If you cannot give, please consider sharing this message to help us reach those who can.

Together, we can uplift the minds, hearts, and futures of our keiki.

Mahalo nui loa for being part of this movement.
