Youth event highlights careers in conservation

Maui Huliau Foundation will host a free virtual "Careers in Conservation" event for Maui youth ages 12 to 22 interested in pursuing environmental careers from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on May 19.

The event will feature more than 20 local professionals from a range of environmental career fields who will talk about their jobs, career paths and what inspired them to work to protect the aina.

Maui Huliau Foundation is a nonprofit that promotes environmental literacy and leadership among Maui's youth. The event will be hosted by alumni of the foundation's programs who helped found the Huliau Alumni Council last May. Alumni will facilitate breakout rooms where students can engage in an informal Q&A with the presenters.

Attendees must register by May 17.

There will also be a free virtual trivia night event from 5 to 6 p.m. on May 18 on Facebook Live. Register by May 17 at facebook.com/mauihuliau.
