The Alaka`i Summer Internship Program provides an opportunity to recruit undergraduate students from University of Hawai`i campuses with strong ties to the `Ewa Moku and a compelling interest in developing their capacity to implement `āina-based, community driven change for a summer experience that focuses on:

 

• Collaboration and learning opportunities grounded in Hawaiian knowledge systems 

• Skill building in the areas of research, story-telling, landscape/watershed analysis, GIS technology, community engagement/empowerment and network building

• Experiential learning grounded in mālama `āina and self care (mālama pono`i)

​

We are seeking eager, highly motivated interns who want to grow in their capacity to create change - to become alaka`i (a leader, one who leads by example).  Together we will create tools that contribute to moku-wide ahupua`a health, equitable food security and community empowerment.
