Community Service Recognition
Maui was honored by the Corporation for National and Community Service with a place on the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for exemplary service efforts and service to America’s communities.
Through service-learning, nearly 100 students at Maui participate in community service experiences that instill academic learning, personal growth and civic responsibility. The college has partnerships established with more than 40 nonprofit organizations, including Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, American Heart Association and American Lung Association.
Two programs receiving recognition are a tutoring program at the nearby Harbor Lights Condominiums and a Spanish-English language exchange program. For more than two years, Maui students from a variety of majors provide mentoring and tutoring every week to more than 50 at-risk children who are residents of Harbor Lights. Through the Spanish-English language exchange program, students enrolled in Spanish language courses at Maui offer English language tutoring to Hispanic residents who, in exchange, provide Spanish language tutoring to the students.
