Once a corps member officially accepts their offer to join the Hawai'i corps, you can shape the early mindsets of potential new colleagues in a variety of ways.
Share your CM/Alumni Impact
Diversify the narrative of the corps experience in HI by sharing your reflections with our newest teachers.
Connect CMs with Placement Communities
With our alumni staying longer in placement schools, a majority of our corps members are placed in schools with alumni. Help our teachers go beyond knowledge of Hawai'i to go deeper into understanding their specific communities. Opportunities include resource sharing, interviews, and any other activities you wish you had prior to the corps experience!
