Our Mission
ClimbHI seeks to inspire students to finish high school and proceed to post-secondary educations or employment by educating them about future career paths and the process necessary to achieve those goals.
ClimbHI has been developed to seek community support to sustain education and culture for students through real-life exposure. Students will be able to pick areas of interest and visit businesses and entities in that field for a guided experience of the operation, the opportunities available, and the requirements to take advantage of the opportunities in the future, all conducted by volunteer professionals from those specific businesses and institutions and ClimbHI. The goal is to take ClimbHi’s sustainable model nationwide, but the initial focus will be on Hawaii.
