Enrollment Guidelines:
• Parents/guardians may enroll up to four (4) keiki from the same household.
• Program is open to children in grades one (1) through twelve (12), unless specified otherwise.
• Applications may be submitted for one (1) Resilience Hub site only. Duplicate applications will forfeit entire eligibility.
Keep in mind:
• This initiative is not a school, but rather a space for keiki to have access to connectivity in order to complete their virtual learning. Hub personnel will be available to help keiki connect their device to the internet, but are not responsible for ensuring your keiki complete their assignments.
• Each Resilience Hub site is unique, and will have available a variety of enrichment and resilience programming.
• Depending on a Resilience Hub's hours of operation, appropriate meals such as breakfast and/or lunch, with take home dinner, may be provided.
