New blog features federal public service opportunities

By Coti-Lynne Haia The Office of Hawaiian Affairs' Washington, D.C. Bureau has created a Native Hawaiian Puhlie Service Pipeline Blog, whieh ean be viewed at "nhpsp.tumblr.com." The blog aims at providing information and opportunities for members of the Hawaiian community who are interested in puhlie service at the federal level. Our first post was uploaded on Monday, March 28, in honor of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole, himself a Hawaiian who chose to engage in puhlie service at the federal level.

Regular visitors to our blog will find an online hub and dissemination point for puhlie service positions across the career spectrum; frominternships for college students to senior leadership positions. The blog's second purpose is to provide general education about processes behind entering puhlie service. Finally, our blog will showcase members of the Hawaiian community who are already working to impact what government does through paid or volunteer positions. ■
