LATEST NEWS | Kupu Culinary

Earlier this month, Kupu soft-launched its new social venture, the Kupu Culinary initiative pilot program, which consisted of five-days, nine select members, seven field trips, more than 30 hours in the kitchen and around 300 bowls of poke preparation. Read more about the program and plans for expansion.

HIGHLIGHT | 10th Anniversary

It was a night to remember! Renown chefs, award-winning entertainers, pageant emcees and more than 300 of Hawai‘i’s business and community leaders gathered at sunset at the Kewalo Basin Net Shed to celebrate Kupu’s Ho‘ahu 10^th anniversary event. Read more about the night or see event photos and videos.

SEASONAL OPPORTUNITY | Kalaupapa National Historic Park

Kalaupapa National Historic Park is one of the Hawai‘i’s most renowned cultural and historical sites on Moloka‘i. It is also one of the most important conservation sites in the state, home to an abundance of natural resources and untouched landscapes. Not many have ever visited, and even fewer have a chance to experience the Park beyond the visitor trail. Kupu is offering a rare opportunity to live and work in Kalaupapa this fall. Read our In the Field and Alumni Spotlight experiences in Kalaupapa or find out more about this seasonal supervisor and crew opportunity. Positions will be filled by early November so apply now!
