Giving Day Priorities

Education rooted across Hawaiʻi Island

Hawaiʻi Community College serves students and communities across Hawaiʻi Island, with campuses in Hilo, Kona, and Honokaʻa. Together, they reflect the islands range rural and urban, mountainous and coastal and a shared commitment to practical, responsive learning grounded in place.

With programs in agriculture, culinary arts, fire science, Hawaiian studies, and skilled trades, Hawaiʻi CC connects education to the cultural, economic, and environmental realities of the island. Here, students prepare for work that matters to their families and their communities. And to Hawaiʻi Islands future.

Your Giving Day gift of any size supports a college where opportunities grow close to home.
