Kupu is a non-profit organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Kupu, in Hawaiian, means to sprout, grow, germinate, or increase. Much like the Kupukupu Fern (of the same name), which is one of the first plants to bring life back to the land after a devastating lava flow, Kupu's heart is to bring life back to the people, land, and ocean while restoring the larger community for a better tomorrow. Founded in 2007, Kupu was developed in response to the growing needs of Hawai`i's communities to train up the next generation in natural resource management, renewable energy, energy conservation and other green job skill sets. Kupu is predicated on the Hawaiian concept of maka hana ka`ike, in working one learns. Kupu houses and manages four service-learning programs in the green jobs sector: the Hawai`i Youth Conservation Corps (HYCC), CommunityU Program, RISE Program and the Environmental Education Program (E2U). These programs are a catalyst to support the over 80 partner sites throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Basin we serve in industries like conservation, renewable energy, agriculture, and sustainability. Through these programs, Kupu aims to teach youth vital work skills as well as leadership, responsibility and learning to serve the community, incorporating vocational training, educational degree achievement and service learning. Kupu provides hundreds of paid internships, engages up to 17,000 volunteers, and provides more than $9 million benefit to Hawai`i through its programs annually. This includes over 230,000 service hours and close to a half million dollars in college and continued education funds to Hawai`i's youth.Kupu Address
