Volunteer Programs in Hawaii (USA)

Hawaii is an excellent destination for volunteers who crave warm temperatures, picturesque, green, jagged mountains, the sounds and feel of the ocean, and SPAM! Though hard to believe, Hawaiians boast the highest per capita SPAM consumption in the entire United States. Luckily, there is much more to these islands than this popular canned meat! Hawaii’s seafood, surfing, and culture are renowned worldwide and with eight main islands, there is plenty for volunteers to explore and contribute to. The Hawaiian islands offer individuals the opportunity to volunteer on projects related to ecotourism, agriculture, teaching, conservation, and so much more.

No Boundary for Volunteers

I have a rather good experience welcoming international volunteers within my organization for community services from the following countries: U.S, France, Cameroon, Ghana, Liberia, Bulgaria, Spain, U.K. I welcomed them one by one, managed their stay and the different tasks as a volunteer with my community. Several educational activities were carried out by these valiant leaders.

Though part of the United States, Hawaii has its own unique culture and heritage that differs greatly from the rest of the country. Hawaii is home to flora, fauna, and landscapes that you just can’t find on the mainland, which makes the island life especially appealing to volunteers looking for outdoor volunteer opportunities in tourism, conservation, and agriculture.

Oahu. Oahu offers the largest number of volunteer opportunities in Hawaii. It is the home of the state’s largest universities, oceanic research centers, and some of the world’s most radical surfing in Waikiki and the North Shore. Honolulu is a hub for volunteer activity, specifically in tourism, conservation, ecology, and teaching.

Hawaii (The Big Island). The Big Island is best known for its active volcanoes, including Kilauea and Mauna Loa, and its laid back, tropical lifestyle. Agriculture is a large part of the economy on The Big Island, including the production of Kona Coffee! The Big Island primarily attracts volunteers in eco-tourism, health, and agriculture.

Maui is the second largest island in Hawaii, with rich geography that includes a shield volcano, Haleakala, that makes up 75 percent of the island. Diverse volunteer opportunities are available on both sides of the island, most notably in agriculture, tourism, teaching, and conservation.
