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 island’s 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 Island’s future.
Your Giving Day gift of any size supports a college where opportunities grow close to home.
