ʻAha Lamakū ʻOiaʻiʻo-Hoʻoikaika Aʻe (ALO-HA): A culturally-responsive leadership and academic support system designed to accelerate the learning of and expand opportunities for at-risk Native Hawaiian youth builds on an existing grant(i.e., ʻAha Lamakū ʻOiaʻiʻo [ALO]). As the latter part of this new grant’s name indicates (Hoʻoikaika Aʻe [meaning to “make stronger”]),the ALO-HA project will leverage current NHE-funded ALO activities to address the additional impacts that COVID-19 had on Native Hawaiian students residing in Hawai‘i Island’s Ka‘ū-Kea‘au-Pāhoa Complex Area (KKP). In short, ALO-HA will build on current ALO services annually targeting secondary students enrolled in KKP’s Kaʻū High and Pahala Elementary, Kea‘au High, Kea‘au Middle, and Pāhoa High and Intermediate.
