The University of Guam and Northern Marianas College have partnered to launch the CNMI Green Growth Kupu Conservation Corps in Saipan, a new program aimed at training future leaders for the Pacific's Green Economy.

The program, modeled after UOG’s successful G3 Conservation Corps, will build regional capacity and promote environmental sustainability across Guam and the CNMI.

Members are stationed at two host sites on Saipan:

American Memorial Park

Joan Tomokane
John Paul Castro
Isaiah Joel Torre
David Quitugua
Gabriel Arkoh
Myles Techur

Department of Lands and Natural Resources CNMI Forestry

Kazuki Aguon
John Kintol

Throughout the program, members receive a stipend and an Americorps educational grant to support their future careers in conservation.

The initiative is supported by Kupu Hawai‘i’s Conservation Leadership Development program, helping prepare young professionals for jobs in the growing green sector across the Pacific.
