Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science

Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science (PIPES)

Join us in empowering the next generation of scientists and conservation leaders from Hawaiʻi and the Pacific! PIPES provides meaningful, hands-on internship experiences connecting students to critical environmental research, cultural stewardship, and professional development.

By supporting PIPES, you help ensure that promising local and Native Hawaiian students can gain the skills and mentorship they need to excel in STEM fields, protect our island ecosystems, and honor the cultural values guiding sustainable research.

Your gift makes an immediate impact – enabling transformative fieldwork, expanding student support, and fostering stronger connections between science and culture.

Mahalo for your generosity!
