University of Hawaii Honolulu Community College
EN-13: Community Service

At this time Honolulu CC does not track the number of employees or students performing community service or any hours. However, the Sustainability and Resilience VISTA did reach out to the organizers of the top three community service programs for the number of volunteers from the 2021-2022 AY. This is where the number for the number of students engaged in community service comes from.

The only things tracked are faculty involvement when it is a reportable metric needed to fill an obtained grant ( ex 1) E Ho’I Na Wai cohort teaching and learning training program, Ha work days, Train the trainer program as part of the Kukalahale Title 3 grant)

Part 1 ( not tracked/2.25) Percentage of students participating in community service
Part 2 ( not tracked/2.25) Community service hours per student
Part 3 (doesn't have 0 /0.5) Institution has a formal program to support employee volunteering during regular work hours,


Honolulu Community College does provide students with many opportunties to get involved with community service. The biggest community service program on campus is the Mālama ʻĀina Days, the Hawaiian Center co-sponsors the campus’ Mālama ʻĀina Days with the Kupu Ka Wai Hawaiian Council and TRIO-SSS. Mālama
ʻĀina Days began in 2006 as part of the Native Hawaiian Career Technical Education Program.
It has since become a campus-wide activity coordinated in partnership by TRIO-SSS, Hulili Ke
Kukui Hawaiian Center, Poʻi Nā Nalu Native Hawaiian Career & Technical Education Program
and Nā Papa Hawaiʻi . These service-learning activities are open to all Honolulu Community
College students and faculty and provide hands-on opportunities to learn more about the
Hawaiian culture and traditional sustainability practices. Mālama ʻĀina Days are open to
EVERYONE and they offer students and staff the opportunity to learn about how Hawaiians
practiced sustainability, such as water management taro cultivation. Plan to work hard, have lots
of fun and actively take part in perpetuating the Hawaiian culture.
