One of our special service efforts is Project SHINE. SHINE is an acronym for Students Helping in Naturalization of Elders. For nearly ten years, Chaminade students have worked with Kapi’olani Community College and the University of Hawai'i at Manoa to help elder immigrants learn the English and civic skills necessary for becoming citizens. Now part of a national consortium, this successful tutorial was the brainchild of a local grassroots community organization, the Chinese Community Action Coalition. While Chaminade students examine culture/ethnicity in America, legal & ethical issues, the roots of poverty in our communities, religion, or teaching techniques, they learn from and help empower those who are marginalized.
