In August, our CTAHR Grow with Us (GWU) Mentoring Program started its 4th annual mentoring program. The Grow with Us Program is a college and career preparation program that offers year-long mentorship to Hawai’i’s high school students. Mentors assist mentees with school projects, college applications, job preparation, and advice related to their interests. In addition, the field trips and extensive group activities provide students with hands-on experience in different career opportunities in Natural Resources, Animal Science, Food Science, and Human Nutrition. GWU partnered with CTAHR’s GENE-ius Day Program this year to increase student interest in STEM fields and career pathways.
