UH Program Guides Teens
To support local high school seniors, Universi- ty of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges and Hawaiʻi P-20 Partnerships for Education, along with community partners, will offer the Next Steps for Your Future pro- gram for the second year. The initiative supports and guides graduates who want to discover their post-high school plans.
Students who opt into the program will be connected with a UH Hawaiʻi Advis- ing Cadre member. Over the course of eight weeks, they can discuss the stu- dent’s next move, whether that be enrolling in college, or entering the military or workforce.
tain criteria also have the chance to participate in free UH Community Colleges summer career exploration courses.
“As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic con- tinues to challenge Ha- wai‘i’s high school seniors in their final year, we are committed to providing the support they need to achieve their potential on their paths to better futures for themselves and our is- lands,” states UH president David Lassner.
“Our graduating seniors have spent the majority of their final year learning from home,” states Stephen Schatz, executive director for Hawai‘i P–20. “We will provide these students with one-on-one personalized advising and counseling support over the summer so they can successfully and seamlessly transition to their post-high school plans.”
“We are excited to once again offer free summer ca- reer exploration classes to help our recent high school graduates develop plans and take the next steps to- ward their goals,” states UH vice president for com- munity colleges Erika La- cro. “These classes are an opportunity for students to develop plans for their fu- ture, become familiar with our community colleges across the state and get a head start on college class- es in the fall.”
For Marcus Mariota, it’s important to help those in need, a sentiment he might’ve learned growing up in Ha- waiʻi. The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback and former ʻEwa Beach resident recently gave two children a gift that will last a lifetime.
Harmon were in a car accident last year, which led to a stay at a Ronald McDonald House in Southern California. In partnership with Truman Or- thodontics, Mariota’s charity Motiv8 Foundation is provid- ing the Nevada boys with free orthodontic services.
