The Na Hua Ho'ohuli i ka Pono program is accepting applications for a seven-month college internship program in the fall designed to help develop Maui's next generation of conservation leaders.
Three college-age students who are interested in natural resources management and protection, as well as invasive species management, will be selected to join the Maui Invasive Species Committee, Maui Nui Botanical Gardens or Maui Nui Seabird Recovery Project.
Applicants must be available for 19 hours a week from Oct. 2 to May 11, 2018.
Workdays are generally Monday through Friday, but may include some night and weekend hours.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and housing.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 18.
Applicants will be selected based on their formal application, criminal history check and interview.
Interns will earn a biweekly living allowance of $475 and are eligible to earn an AmeriCorps Education Award that may be applied toward higher education costs or student loans.
The internship program works in partnership with Maui-based conservation agencies and Kupu, a statewide nonprofit organization.
The program is funded by Hau'oli Mau Loa Foundation, a private Honolulu-based grant-making organization.
