ABOUT UPLINK
Uniting Peer Learning, Integrating New Knowledge is a FREE after school program for all Ewa Makai Middle School students. UPLINK provides a variety of enrichment activities that students can choose from while students are also able to meet and be tutored by their teachers. UPLINK services will be offered in person.
The purpose of the UPLINK program is to provide required and optional student-interest activities that aim to proactively prevent students in grades 6, 7, and 8 from engaging in risky behaviors in the out-of-school hours.
