Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Community school garden and whole foods nutrition program - students realize improved academic performance and increased work and life skills through participating in hui malama's meal proram and community farming projects which are integrated throughout the core academic subjects. Students regularly interface with local food producers and locally owned busineses in order to analyze the importance of food security and to explore related careers.building on our previous experience and knowledge, our whole foods nutrition program provides our students with free breakfast, snack and lunch each day to prepare them for a day of learning and high performance. Students participate in the planning, preparation and cleanup of their meals, practice table manners and etiquette, and reflect on learning. Simultaneously, students learn about nutrition, budgeting, and environmental sustainability, so that they can analyze the costs and benefits of locally grown food versus imported food from a financial, social, cultural, health, and environmental perspective. Students also plan, develop and maintain a garden to produce vegetables and fruits for meals. Students build on their school experiences by visiting local growers and identifying where locally grown food is sold. As a final project, students create and disseminate a community educational campaign about the connection between food, culture, health, and the environment, what foods are grown on maui, and where they can be purchased.

Activity 3

Employer mentor program - the goal of the employer mentor program is to partner with maui business leaders and community members to create community venues to highlight hui malama learning center (hmlc) student learning in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (stem) as they relate to sustainable living on maui. In addition, the program aims to share knowledge with maui's community about sustainable living and hui malama's programming, and to raise funds to convert hui malama learning center to a green, sustainable structure which also serves as a living classroom for stem subjects. Finally, the ultimate goal of our employer mentoring program is to recruit employer mentors who provide students with knowledge and insight into tomorrow's workforce.
