Hawaii Island Youth Ranger Internship Program
The haumana of Keaau High School in Puna, Hawaiʻi, as well as those in Kaʻu are establishing their path to becoming leaders in their communities.
For 2023, Ku'ialuaopuna visited the Youth Ranger Program participants at their Ka'u and Puna communities to bring the history of our Hawaiian warrior arts to our youth and future leaders of Hawai'i.
For 14 years Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is hosting the Youth Ranger Program to engage local youth in conservation and provide training in important life skills such as financial awareness, public speaking, how to apply for jobs and leadership. Eight training sessions are provided in each district served, and participants are given a $20 stipend per session attended to offset any costs associated with participation. Over half of the participants have been of Native Hawaiian descent. Nearly all the participants reside in Puna or Ka`u, the two most financially disadvantaged districts in the State.
Upon successful completion of the training, the participants are eligible for paid federal positions created for the program. College positions create a mentoring opportunity to continue employment while providing a bridge to college for the younger students. Several local youths have continued through college and hold permanent federal jobs without having to leave home.This year’s training participants bring the total to over 600 youth trained. Over 300 local youth have been hired to work in various fields within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the other four parks on the island. The program has also added over 2 million dollars to our local economy. Although most will not continue employment in the National Park System, the knowledge gained improves their chances of success in any field, provide an excellent point on their resume and references for future opportunities.
