How Hula Works

Hula helps high school students stand out in college applications by guiding them through a three-step journey: Find Your Mission, where they identify a problem in their school or community; Build It, where they develop and launch a real-world project with expert support; and Tell Your Story, where they reflect on their impact and craft powerful college essay responses. Along the way, students gain mentorship, build tangible skills, and make meaningful contributions—all while creating standout content for their applications.
