Nā Leo o Nā ʻŌpio’s 2026 Spring Career Expo

For more than 20 years, Nā Leo o Nā ʻŌpio has connected middle and high school students with meaningful career pathways through its annual Career Expo at Edith Kanakaʻole Stadium.

The February 12th, 2026 Spring Career Expo marked HER’s first year participating. Focused on middle school students, the event brought together 60 organizations, 155 presenters, and 1,169 students alongside 124 chaperones—an inspiring collective effort to help youth envision their futures.

HER was honored to introduce students to careers in environmental stewardship and restoration, planting seeds of curiosity about caring for Hawaiʻi’s natural and cultural resources. We look forward to returning in November for the Fall Expo and connecting with high school students as they begin linking education with workforce pathways.

Mahalo to Nā Leo o Nā ʻŌpio for cultivating opportunities that empower Hawaiʻi’s youth—and for welcoming HER into this meaningful and impactful tradition.
