Join our Stitch Squad and support Museum Education!

The Sugar Museum needs lots of empty beanbag shells for its ongoing Education Program. The beanbags are a very important part of hands on, interactive student learning during field trips. This is a great activity for groups, students, Scouts, clubs, visitors, and families. We provide fabric, instructions and pattern. You can also use your own fabric scraps.  

Learn more about our Education Program HERE. Sign up HERE. Get the pattern and instructions HERE (pattern is at the bottom of webpage). Mahalo for your support!

Do you like gardening, or light yard work? The Sugar Museum is looking for folks who like to do a little yard work twice a month. This is a great opportunity for groups, B Corps, Scouts, visitors, and individuals.   

Some tasks are weeding, trimming, raking and sweeping. Plug into your favorite podcast or music and support your local museum.

Availability is Monday-Thursday, between the hours of 9am and 1pm.  Saturdays are available with advanced notice.   

Basic tools are provided, or bring your own. Wear a hat, sturdy shoes, and a refillable water bottle. The ability to operate a gas powered weed whacker is desirable, but not required. Learn more HERE, and sign up HERE. Mahalo!

The Sugar Museum is looking for friendly folks to greet visitors and help in our gift shop for a couple of hours a week. We welcome students and Scouts who need service hours.  

Duties at the front desk and gift shop involve checking in visitors, ringing up sales, stocking shelves, pricing merchandise, and "busy work" when needed. You'll spend a little bit of time at both desks, so there is plenty of variety. It's easy and fun!

Current schedule is Monday-Thursday, 10-12 or 12-2. Schedules do change, so please inquire. Learn more HERE. Sign up HERE. Mahalo!

Pop in your earbuds and do some mindful housekeeping. Help us keep our 1902 historic Sugar Museum clean, while protecting the buildings and artifacts at the same time.

All tools and supplies provided. Learn more HERE. Sign up HERE.

Do you like working with school children? The Sugar Museum's education program teaches students about sugar history and plantation life.

It's easy and fun. We provide a script and you will observe a live school visit to get started.  Learn More Here. Sign up HERE.

Do you enjoy inspiring others and speaking on behalf of a powerful cause?
We’re looking for YOU.

Project Hawai’i, Inc. is seeking a professional and passionate volunteer to serve as our official representative at corporate presentations, conferences, and special events. This highly rewarding role is perfect for someone who thrives in professional settings, is comfortable with public speaking, and understands how to engage with corporate sponsors and potential partners.

Ideal Candidate Traits:

Strong public speaking and communication skills

Confident and personable; loves meeting new people

Ability to clearly articulate our mission and impact

Comfortable interacting with corporate sponsors, donors, and business leaders

Passionate about helping homeless children succeed

What to Expect:

Events are typically on weekday mornings and last about 2 hours

Most opportunities are on the Big Island (West Side), but support is occasionally needed on all islands

Training, talking points, and materials will be provided in advance — you’ll never go in unprepared

This is an incredible opportunity to be the voice of change while helping us build partnerships that sustain our mission. If you’re ready to stand with us and speak out for Hawai’i’s homeless keiki, we’d love to hear from you.

Mahalo for helping us make a difference, one child at a time.

Aloha,

Are you passionate about making a real impact in your community?
Project Hawai'i, Inc. is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless keiki (children) break the cycle of poverty and create a brighter future. And we need your voice to make that happen.

We’re looking for socially conscious individuals — especially those active on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or other platforms — who want to use their voice and creativity to raise awareness about the growing crisis of child homelessness in Hawai‘i.

Most people don’t realize that Hawai‘i ranks #1 in the nation for the highest percentage of homeless children — over 23,000 keiki are affected. Many rely on school lunch as their only meal and safest space during the day.

We believe change starts with awareness, and that’s where you come in. If you’re a student, young professional, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, this is your chance to amplify the voices of those who often go unheard.

Kaha Native Plant Garden: This project is a living example of how individual homeowners can help improve the local environment through the use of native vegetation and xeriscape gardens.

Visitors can walk the garden pathways to see how plantings might appear in their own backyard.

This position is also perfect to be used as a internship or practicum. We are a registered nonprofit that accepts internships for up to 6 months/ 300 hours.

A foster parent is someone who provides temporary housing and care for an animal sheltered at Oahu SPCA. Our Foster Care program is designed to provide caring homes where animals can receive more individualized attention. When you foster, you open up space at Oahu SPCA, allowing us to take in and save even more animals. If you are interested in fostering a pet, please fill out an application for a cat or a dog and we will reach out to you once your application is approved.

The Foster Program at Oahu SPCA is critical to our rescue work. It enables us to save more animals and also give pets a warm, loving environment to heal, grow and flourish.

They’re Underage. Puppies and kittens are not ready to be adopted until they are at least eight weeks old. They need time for their immune systems to develop, to receive nourishment, medical care and to be healthy enough for sterilization.

They’re Sick/Injured. Foster homes are a great place for sick or injured animals to heal, wheather they’re recovering from a routine procedure or something more complicated like an orthopedic surgery.

They Need Behavior Modification or Socialization. With people and animals coming and going, our shelter can be overwhelming for some pets. They often prefer a home environment or some one-on-one attention. Others come to us abused, neglected or simply lacking the training or socialization they need to find the right home.

Pet food or milk replacer, food bowls or bottles & nipples, crates, puppy pads, medical care & support.

A safe haven. Love, attention, care and the ability to follow directions from staff and the capability to bring the foster pet in for regular checkups.

In order to foster an Oahu SPCA animal you must:

All of the animals enjoy having new and different things to do each day. We are seeking dedicated animal enrichment program volunteers to help provide stimulating, fun and safe activities for the 3RR residents. Some will require out of the box thinking. Perhaps sending a volunteer hunting at garage sales and recycle stores for items that can be repurposed into safe animal toys. This is a creative and fun volunteer activity that can easily be taken over by a team of friends who want to make a difference in the animals lives. 

Creative construction of hidey holes, houses and tunnels as well as fun substrates to roll in and smell are also welcome. 

There is a great deal of written information on zoo keeper journals etc of ideas others have come up with that can be used or modified for our residents. Building Feeding boxes and animal treat puzzles anyone?

A team could create many items that could be rotated out of a toy chest by the daily Keepers to provide new fun activities. The Enrichment team would not need to be at the sanctuary frequently unless they wanted to be. 

Please Email Ann to discuss

So many animals live in a wide variety of habitats and each of these areas needs regular loving care. Pick one or several and take over the care that that specific zone requires to be safe and look inviting. Most of this is trimming back and raking up, think zen garden for an animal. These can be tasks done twice a month or more frequently depending on the area selected. Email Ann to discuss.

Tools provided, come with a friend or two and have fun. 

We welcome those who have community service hours to complete for court or school. Call Ann and chat about how you can get those hours completed while helping out the animals of 3RR. Many tasks to do and all depending on what skills you may have. All are outdoor and require physical activity. We need everyone from construction, landscaping, electrical, painting you name it we can use help. This can be done around your own work or school hours. 

Extra credit for school (UH) given by some educators if you volunteer here.  Call or email me

Kona Animal Sanctuary: Assist with wildlife rehab and exotic animal care. Keepers can come as often as five times a week or as little as twice a week in the morning or afternoon rounds. Morning feeding rounds begin at 8:00 am and end around 11 am. Afternoon rounds begin at 3:30 pm and last until around 5:30. Rain or shine 365 days a week!

Three Ring Ranch loves our volunteers! Have you ever wanted to work with exotic animals? Care for native & endangered species in a sanctuary setting? This may be just the place for you. Like all kinds of critters?- bison, zebra, flamingos, ostrich, chinchillas, owls, monkeys and the list goes on. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer positions ever.  You get to know the critters and they you. You work with a dedicated team of Keepers who treat you like family. 

We are a very tiny facility (five acres) and all our staff are volunteer. I (Executive Director) am here full time and have a group of dedicated volunteers come daily (some several times a week) as keepers. Keepers are people who are trained to feed and care for the animals. There are 0 paid positions and we do not have housing.

Volunteers come up for several months to learn each of the critters before they are able to feed alone and become a Keeper as there are so many different species and it takes quite a while to become skilled at safely caring for them all. Some volunteers chose not to become Keepers but to come up less often and come for project days on an animals enclosure or to help with the day to day handyman type of jobs that always need doing. Our rounds begin at 8:00 am sharp and last 3+ hours. The afternoon rounds begin at 4 pm and last about 1.5 hours. You must be physically fit to be a keeper, yup this is not for anyone with major limitations.

 The animal feed comes in 50lb bags which you do need to be able to move alone. Most of the time there is someone around who is able to lift and haul but you may get asked to do it with another keeper. Yes you get dirty! You are never asked to do something you are uncomfortable with and never asked to do anything unsafe. We expect our volunteers to be careful and safe for other humans and the critters.

 This is a learning experience and you have to focus and pay attention. At first there is a huge amount of information to process but over time it all comes around. We know it feels like your brain will explode and we don't want that to happen so we take it slow. Everyone learns at their own pace, you do need a minimum of 3 days a week to train. Three-four x a week is better while training. We have to know you will be staying in Kona for 90 days or more to devote the time to training you. If you will be in town for a shorter period we welcome you as an "irregular". Please see other opportunities posted for areas we can use short time help. 

 You need to live in or near Kona to be a volunteer, it just does not work to drive over from Hilo or Kau. Some volunteers come for only a few months or move here to gain the experience while working elsewhere so they can get into school. Volunteers are at least 17 years old for liability reasons. We do not have residential lodging for volunteers other than those in our international,  pre-vet or vet summer programs. See the education pages of our web site for more details on those programs. https://threeringranch.org

 Many volunteers are working at regular jobs and come volunteer during spare time just to enjoy the animals or to get this type of work experience on a resume for a later date. For some it is just a chance to spend a few hours on a regular basis with animals in a place where their health and wellbeing come first. Couples are great volunteer teams! We do love our regular staff who are retired and have that extra time on their hands.

You can learn more about us at  http://www.threeringranch.org

If you live in Kona, have a few days a week to volunteer & want to try or you think that this new residential position sounds like a great opportunity then give me a call at 331-8778 after 6 pm and we can set up a time for a visit. You may also reply to this email.

 All volunteers have signed the volunteer waiver and have proof of insurance prior to orientation. All volunteers are covered at the Sanctuary by a VIS Volunteer Insurance Service policy through the CIMA Company. This policy provides extra accident, liability and auto insurance to our volunteers.

We are in need of the following items to help serve Hawaii's homeless youth.

Daily Food Inspection, Produce - Help sort produce at our warehouse. Volunteers are needed from 9 am – 12 pm or 12 pm – 2:30 pm on weekdays (M-F). Minimum age is 8 years old. Those 8-15 must be with an adult 18 or older. We can accommodate up to 10 volunteers per shift. Groups of 3 or more can be scheduled on Fridays from 9 am – 12 pm.  Volunteers will be required to stand, lift, and bend the entire shift. Volunteers must be fully vaccinated or show proof of a negative covid test within 48 hours of their shift.
