Kokua Foundation working Together with NSCM
The Kokua Hawai’i Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports environmental education in the schools and communities of Hawai’i. The mission of the foundation is to provide students with exciting and interactive encounters that will enhance their appreciation for and understanding of their environment so that they will be lifelong stewards of the earth. We support hands-on learning activities that engage their senses and make lasting impressions on children’s minds. We believe our keiki are the seeds of change to preserving and protecting our beautiful islands.
Our goals this year are to support and expand our recycling program in the schools, to sponsor environmental education field trips and curriculum development, as well as to introduce a school garden/healthy school lunch program in Hawai’i schools.
The Kokua Hawai’i Foundation is currently researching successful school garden and healthy school lunch programs in hopes to develop a model that can be used in the schools of Hawaii.
The Kokua Foundation was started by north shore resident and popular musician Jack Johnson. His yearly Kokua Festival (www.kokuafestival.com) is a benefit event that will bring together environmental organizations, eco-friendly businesses, musicians, artists, teachers, and community leaders to promote environmental awareness in Hawaii. The Kokua Festival offers tasty treats from local organic food and beverage vendors, earth-friendly products and services from Hawaii-based companies, fun games and crafts for the kids, and several environmentally active groups from around the islands.
