Nā Hua Hoʻohuli i ka Pono

Nā Hua Hoʻohuli i ka Pono is a conservation leadership program on the island of Maui. Sessions were divided between two groups of participants.

The Nā Hua Hoʻohuli i ka Pono Conservation Leadership Program (NHHP) was created in 2016 and is funded by Hauʻoli Mau Loa Foundation, a private Honolulu-based grant making organization. The goal of this program is to develop the future leaders we need and ensure that they not only have the technical skills to tackle conservation challenges, but that they are equally competent in navigating complex

social, cultural, and political arenas that are critical to natural resources protection. From 2016-2020, the program worked in partnership with Maui based conservation organizations and Kupu. Twenty-five interns graduated from the program during this time, gaining a broad understanding of conservation work on Maui while working alongside field experts. In 2020, the program pivoted to a virtual format, with structured sessions aimed to develop students, interns, and emerging professionals in Hawai'i's conservation field. The Nā Hua group- students and interns, and the Nā Ēwe group- emerging professionals with five years or less experience in the conservation field. Virtual modules comprise of Hui Haumāna peer led sessions and Hui Kumu sessions with established professionals and experts. Sessions are based on topics and conversations led by Hui Haumāna facilitators and NHHP program staff. Professionals in the leadership field round out quarterly Hālāwai Hapahā sessions.
