Kokua Earth Action Program
Each year, we invite Hawai'i schools, grades K-12, to start a Kokua Earth Action Project. All completed projects will be honored and showcased on our website.
What is the Kokua Earth Action Program?
Kōkua Earth Action Program (KEAP) is an environmental service-learning initiative encouraging students to work toward creating lasting, positive change in their schools and communities.KEAP Projects allow classes to pursue their own stewardship endeavors and KEAP Mini-Grants fund these projects and help teachers from Hawaii schools advance their environmental education goals.
Previous KEAP projects include lunch-waste composting programs, on-campus water catchment systems, school gardens and beach adoptions. View past KEAP projects here.
How to Participate in KEAP: Start by choosing an Earth Action Project and create a plan for how you’ll carry it out.
Mini-grants Available for KEAP Supplies: A small number of mini-grants are available to school groups submitting KEAP proposals. These mini-grants shall not exceed $200 per classroom teacher and can be used to purchase supplies to carry out Kokua Earth Action Program initiatives.

Note: Not all applications will be funded, nor can we guarantee that funded projects will receive the full amount requested.
