A truly collaborative effort, the Educational Modules leverages the skills, knowledge, history and wisdom of our kupuna, the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Education, Kauaʻi Community College, the Hawaiʻi Institute of Innovation, numerous professionals from both the public and private sectors, and especially the participating students!
Grove Farm is committed to the education of our youth. After participating in the Educational Modules, it is our hope that students realize that modern career opportunities exist here on Kauaʻi, find confidence in their ability to learn, and know that they can make a difference in building a sustainable future for all future generations to benefit from.
