What is a Kokua Earth Action Project?
A Kokua Earth Action Project (KEAP) is student-led environmental service learning initiative aimed at taking care of our islands and encouraging long-lasting change in your classrooms, schools or community. Past projects have included instituting a lunch waste composting program at school, leading a school recycling program, starting an on-campus garden, adopting a stream or beach, energy conservation and more. A great website to check out for inspiration is the Green Club at St. Anthony’s School.

How to Participate:
Start by choosing a KEAP and create a plan for how you’ll carry it out. Follow the proposal instructions and submit to the Kokua Hawai’i Foundation. Many projects may already be in place at your school, if so, please describe what you are doing in the appropriate areas of the application. Proposal registration forms are available online at www.kokuahawaiifoundation.org. The completed proposal must be submitted and postmarked by October 14, 2011. The KEAP committee will review each submission and send out confirmation emails to each group regarding documentation of projects. Please direct any questions regarding KEAP to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
