Youth Turning Conservation into Policy | Honolulu News

A bold new youth movement called Corals to Committees is reshaping Hawaii’s environmental future by connecting hands-on conservation with real legislative power. Led by students across all islands, this initiative bridges the gap between science and policy, empowering young people to turn fieldwork into law. Facing climate impacts like wildfires and invasive species, they argue that stewardship alone isn’t enough — youth must also shape the rules that govern their environment. Tackling geographic and systemic barriers, the group is building mentorships, internships, and unified advocacy to ensure their voices aren’t just heard but acted upon. Their mission? To prove that science, policy, and community action are inseparable — and that the next generation is ready to lead.
