Kanu o ka 'Aina Learning 'Ohana

Kanu o ka ‘Aina Learning ‘Ohana’s (KALO) project will provide funding for a College and Career Specialist who will plan and implement activities at KALO’s Native Hawaiian Library to improve college readiness among Native Hawaiian high school seniors and adults interested in returning to college. The library will also provide career-related skills training for Native Hawaiians seeking employment or wanting to start a small business. Building on active partnerships with local and statewide organizations, KALO’s long-term goal is to increase the rate of college enrollment and the number of community members earning a viable living, ultimately improving the socio-economic status of Native Hawaiians.
