Pono Collective

Pono Collective is a Hawaiʻi-based nonprofit organization founded on the belief that purposeful learning happens through connection to our community and respect for our resources, history, and culture. Since launching in 2022, Pono Collective has taken learners out of the classroom and into farms, sensory labs, and production facilities across Hawaiʻi. By connecting students to leaders throughout our local value chains, our goal is to inspire innovation and introduce career pathways that will help continue and grow our agricultural and culinary arts communities.
