Maui Volunteer Opportunities w/ Hawai’i Wildlife Fund

Hawaiʻi Wildlife Fund
Maui Volunteers and interns help with beach clean-ups, turtle nest protection and monitoring (summer only), and our daily public outreach program called “Honu Watch.” This project focuses on a unique phenomenon called basking, wherein Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles come up onto the beach to bask; you would be monitoring our Hawaiian Greens population as well as do some community outreach and public education. During the summer (June-October) our main focus switches to our Hawksbill Turtle Recovery Project. Interns and volunteers will assist with daily morning beach walks looking for turtle tracks, nest watch, and hatchling watch. We also now have the Hawaiʻi Wildlife Discovery Center open at Whalers Village, Kaʻanapali, Maui, which is a dynamic, multi-media education facility that HWF operates and benefits our programs. In some cases, volunteers may be able to join us there, and will receive a separate application for that program. Click here for the Hawaiʻi Wildlife Discovery Center website.

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!
