Community Support for Voyager
As a public charter school, Voyager receives a per pupil allocation to fund operations of the school. Unfortunately, this allocation falls short of funding the full and true educational needs of Voyager students. In addition, Hawaii charter schools receive no financial assistance to fund the cost of leasing or acquiring facilities, so facilities expenses put a further strain on the operating funds of the school. Fundraising is a key component of the Voyager program. Financial support, “in-kind” contributions of services, equipment and supplies, and volunteer assistance all help provide the resources Voyager needs to fund its programs.Foundations
