Volunteer Opportunities with
the Hawai‘i
Wildlife Center
The HWC will depend a great deal on a large community of volunteers to fill positions to operate the programs. The HWC will benefit the local North Kohala community by creating a place for volunteerism in conservation education, and in cultural, mentoring and training programs. It will also provide educational resources for the entire island for both private and public groups and visitors to the island. Education will include programs to learn conservation science careers and to teach conservation of Hawai‘i’s natural resources and the preservation of Hawaiian cultural connections to the environment.
HWC was featured in a new book “Preserving Paradise”. A response to both our economic and environmental crises, the book features over 65 organizations in Hawai‘i that offer short-term volunteer opportunities with the islands’ land, ocean, and wildlife. Going beyond green, it’s a way to experience the islands that doesn’t just make less of an impact, but actually gives something back.
