EA University Hawaii – Germinator Fund Report 2021

EA Ecoversity is the first Ecoversity in the Pacific Region, standing for Education with Aloha. EA Ecoversity is designed to empower the 52% Native Hawaiian youth and young adults who are not pursuing a post-secondary education and generally end up on the bottom of the socio-economic ladder, often houseless and without hope for the future. EA Ecoversity will provide these learners with achievable, budget-friendly options to attain foundational contemporary and traditional skills that will empower them to thrive in their homeland. The Germinator Grant has been used to cover a total of 150 hours of the administrator’s pay, which is roughly 21 days of work (7 hrs/day) not including any taxes or payroll fees. As EA Ecoversity Administrator, Krisha is responsible to create the initial EA Ecoversity infrastructure and operations in partnership with the EA Ecoversity Design Team and CEO. This includes but is not limited to: the application process for learners and mentors, learner requirement documents, website development, marketing materials, learner and mentor intake, community outreach, and building our EA Ecoversity Advisory Boards.
