Join us for a conservation workday
 in Waimea Valley

Be a part of helping to preserve this land for future generations

Help us restore the native forest sites, remove invasive species, plant native species and even help to care for the habitat of the endangered creatures that we protect. Hanai 'Aina conservation workdays are offered 1-2 times a month. Volunteers hike up to the valley's central ridge and assist the conservation team with this essential project.

The conservation workdays are an all day excursion - 9am-3pm. Space is limited and an RSVP is required to participate in these events.

Visit our website, www.waimeavalley.net/volunteer, to RSVP and for a list of all volunteer opportunities, dates, times and additional information. You can also email the volunteer coordinator at volunteers@WaimeaValley.net to be put on a mailing list and receive monthly updates with the upcoming workdays.

 Set up a Group Volunteer Project
at Waimea Valley You're invited to bring your club, team, business or organization for a fun filled day of giving back!

This is an opportunity to set up an exclusive, group volunteer project in Waimea Valley. Your team will get the chance to help us care for this beautiful valley and learn while you work. If you are part of a group or organization looking for community service hours or looking for a way to make a positive impact in the world, we will work with you to set up a fun and productive day.

Projects take place in Waimea Valley. Tasks may include weeding, clearing debris, invasive species removal, cleanup in garden beds, and cultural site maintenance.

The available dates to set up an event are dependent on the Volunteer Coordinator's schedule. Weekends usually book up 2-3 months in advance. Weekday workdays are much more readily available, but a two-week lead time is preferred.

Groups under 10 people have the option of joining us on any of our community volunteer events - 'Ohana Volunteer Day, Malama Mala workdays, and Hanai 'Aina forest conservation workdays. RSVP for these events on our website, https://www.waimeavalley.net/volunteer, or by contacting the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteers@waimeavalley.net.

Volunteer groups play an essential role in caring for our botanical gardens, protecting the habitat of rare and endangered species, and tending to the cultural sites in the Valley. As an added thank you to the volunteers for their contributions, they receive complimentary entry to they valley the day they volunteer.

When contacting the volunteer coordinator to set up an event, some important information will be:

Name of the group or organization you represent. Approximately how many people you expect would attend (ballpark estimates are fine)? Dates you are interested in

We look forward to welcoming your group to the Valley and facilitating an educational and enjoyable service project.

Become a Waimea Valley
Visitor Center Greeter

Waimea Valley is looking for volunteers interested in being Visitor Center Greeters. This opportunity is great for an outgoing, helpful individual who is interested in meeting new people from all over the world. You are going to be the first smiling face that the visitors will see when they enter the Valley and will have the chance to enjoy sharing this beautiful and unique place with our guests. You'll help them get started on their Waimea Valley Adventure and have the opportunity to learn about this beautiful place as you work.

The greeters are a committed, vibrant group of individuals that support the guests' learning and exploration of Waimea Valley. We take the time to ensure that our greeters are trained and taught about the botanical gardens, the significant cultural sites and the history of this wonderful valley. They spend their days in our visitors center answering guest questions, sharing our many attractions and events, and directing the visitors to the ticket booth.

Volunteer Greeters shifts are available either mornings or afternoons most days a week. Greeters are asked to commit to one or more regularly scheduled shifts per week. To apply, contact the Volunteer Coordinator at: volunteers@waimeavalley.net.
