Hawaiʻi Island Volunteer Opportunities w/ Hawai‘i Wildlife Fund


Hawaiʻi Wildlife Fund
On Hawaiʻi Island, we offer monthly community beach cleanup events, environmental education opportunities for keiki (in person and virtual), native plant seed collection events, and wetland/ anchialine pond workdays! For more details about volunteer events, please check our website calendar. You will be directed to an HWF team member that can help you complete your sign up. During the last two decades, marine debris, resulting in a massive accumulation of floating plastic pollution in the world’s ocean, has become a significant threat to native wildlife. Endangered Hawaiian monk seals, threatened green sea turtles, humpback whales, dolphins, fish and coral frequently become entangled in abandoned nets, fishing lines and other debris. Please consider participating in one of our clean-up events to help remove these hazards to our native wildlife! In addition, HWF has joined forces with the Mālama Hawaiʻi Program! Mālama means to “care for, preserve, give-back,” and by volunteering with us, you could qualify for a special discount or even a free night from a participating hotel (including the Fairmont Orchid on Hawaiʻi Island). We’re excited to have you join us!

About the organizer

Maui & Big Island

Hawaiʻi Wildlife Fund has roots on both Maui and the Big Island (Hawaiʻi Island), although its work now extends statewide and into the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Marine National Monument.

Since 1996, HWF has supported outreach education on marine life conservation through naturalist training programs, student projects and internships. HWF’s projects are community-based and powered by volunteerism, and we want to deeply thank all of our supporters who have helped us be so efficient and successful for nearly 20 years.

“Ho‘okuleana” means “to take responsibility,” as in helping protect our Hawaiian resources, which is everyone’s responsibility. There are multiple ways of getting involved, so please join us!
