CALENDAR BOARD INITIATIVES ACCOMPLISHMENTS


We are a Pacific Islander education organization that serves the Pacific Islander community. Although our particular focus is on Pacific Islander students, we will help any student or community pursue their educational goals.

  • Our members network and share resources with schools to support student academic achievement.
  • We provide financial aid and scholarship information for students and parents.
  • Our board members participate in school career day programs and mentoring programs.
  • We introduce career role models and mentors annually to 300 students and parents through our conferences.
  • We speak at academic conferences and introduce research on Pacific Islander students to educators.
  • Grant awards are available to support Pacific Islander student club programs.
