We invite you to be part of this community by celebrating with us at our second annual SCH Earth Week, April 19th - 26th, bringing the community together through shared values of stewardship, sustainability, and SCHtoke! Together, we’ll steward the coastline through a hands-on cleanup effort, and move up mauka making a tangible difference in the place we all call home. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or joining a cleanup or workday for the first time, your efforts are vital in protecting this delicate ecosystem. Recognizing the interconnectedness of our lives, we aim to create reconnection points within our communities, making environmental stewardship accessible to all. Through this Earth Week initiative, we invite reflection on these less-explored concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared responsibility and connection to the Earth.

Begin Earth Week at Bellows Beach, where we will sift microplastics from the sand, clean up a stream channel, and learn about plastic pollution and solutions for the future.
Spend a morning at GoFarm Hawai‘i learning about farmer training programs, how to grow your own food, and why this matters for a future of healthy coastlines. Organic farming means fewer chemicals that are moving downstream and into our soil. Registrations Are Limited
Finish our Earth Week with our last Saturday workday at the Nation of Hawai‘i, where we’ll help restore lo‘i and remove invasive plants at the top of the ahupua‘a. We’ll be brought into an understanding of a vision of sovereignty focused on care for ‘āina and wrap our week looking over the beautiful ahupua‘a of Waimānalo, where we spent our week.

Cleanups and Restorations
Monthly Workdays
SCH programs are aligned with two organizational pillars: Inspiration and Action. We accomplish their mission by organizing fun and engaging large-scale community beach cleanups & restoration events, sharing knowledge through a robust educational program, promoting awareness and action through public outreach campaigns, engaging business leadership in hands-on solutions through corporate cleanups, providing the tools needed for others to host their own cleanups, and offering sustainability consulting and waste diversion services at events.
After working with the SCH crew, we know that you will never look at plastic the same. Learn more about our programs and how you can get involved.
We collaborated with our community on O'ahu to help facilitate a series of cleanups and plant restoration efforts throughout 141 acres of land in Kaimukī. The SCH team and 630+ volunteers removed an estimated 2000+ lbs of debris, made up of mostly land-based debris, and restored over 150 native plants to the banks of Pālolo Stream. The week prior to the festival, our (Re)Learning Team hit the classrooms for a (Re)Learning Tour, reaching 220 students through a total of 6 presentations.
