Six 8th graders from St. Louis School have been selected to participate in a new ambassador program that will take them on an educational day-trip to Hawaiʻi Island.

The pilot program, which aims to empower young leaders and promote tsunami, mitigation, mapping, and warning coordination activities, will kick off with a visit to the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo.

Based on their academic achievements and leadership potential, the students will have the opportunity to learn about the impact of tsunamis and the importance of disaster preparedness. They will also interact with local experts and community members to gain a deeper understanding of tsunamis and historical occurrences in the state.

During their time on Hawaiʻi Island, they will also visit Hilo Bay, Hakalau Lookout, Laupahoehoe Lookout, and Wainaku Bridge. 

This inaugural trip to Hawaiʻi Island is the beginning of a series of educational exchanges.

For more information about the ambassador program and future opportunities for high school students please contact John Vierra, Community Outreach Lead at 808-798-5908 or via email at john.a.vierra@hawaii.gov.
