Pūlama Kuamoʻo Mentorship Program

The Hawaiʻi Conservation Alliance’s Nāhululeihiwakuipapa (Next Gen) Subcommittee is happy to announce the 2024 Pūlama Kuamoʻo Mentorship Program at this year’s Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference (HCC)!

The intention of this program is to provide an opportunity for students and emerging professionals from Hawaiʻi to meet and network with Hawaiʻi’s established professionals in the conservation research and natural resource management community. For established professionals, it is an opportunity to mentor the next generation of conservationists, managers and educators, along with sharing their own journey in this field. Students and emerging professionals will benefit from direct interaction with respected professionals in their areas of interest.
