Hunger touches everyone.

It's been over a year since our lives were turned upside down. We've been hit hard, with food insecurity increasing locally by 50 percent. Here's a hard fact: Over a quarter of a million Hawaii residents, including more than 89,000 keiki, struggle with hunger.

Last year, Leeward's ‘ohana stepped up and donated $8,279 and 547 pounds of food. This effort helped support the Hawaii Foodbank's distribution of over 18 million pounds of food. This year, we're setting the bar higher and reaching for $10K!

Our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs focus on industry-specific skills to prepare you for a new career or help you advance in an existing one.

Leeward students – you're almost there! Just one more week of class, then finals, and you'll have made it through the Fall semester. Now, it's time to set your sights on Spring 2021. Don't let the challenges of a pandemic stop you from continuing your education. We're here to help you every step of the way, and we'll start by dispelling some of the common myths that might prevent you from continuing at Leeward in Spring 2021.

This December marks the one-year anniversary of the project, Faces and Places of Leeward Community College, a website created by and for Leeward CC students.

The site features profiles of students, faculty, and staff, in addition to videos of students’ speeches about their experiences studying at Leeward. The goals of the project are to showcase the work of students in English as a second language (ESL) courses and to foster connections among students, faculty, and staff.
