Volunteer With Us

We are excited to offer two new volunteer programs for Maui residents. 

Looking for an opportunity to put your hands into the earth? Join our corps of garden volunteers, helping staff clear trails and pull weeds. Working on weekdays in small (socially distanced) teams, our garden volunteers will enjoy time in the garden while helping to preserve this special place. This is moderately demanding physical work that requires a tolerance for heat and mosquitos. 

If you’re passionate about books, we have a volunteer opportunity in the library. We are seeking a few people to assist with cleaning and cataloguing on weekdays and occasionally on weekends. A deep respect for books, as well as non-sensitivity to dust and mold, are essential to this work. 

We will be taking steps to ensure a safe, comfortable, and rewarding experience for all of our volunteers. If you’re trying to find new ways to “unplug” (an extra bonus is that there is no internet or cell phone service on the property), and are able to commit a few hours a week for at least three months, please consider joining us. Fill out our inquiry form below, and a staff person will be in touch.

We encourage any and all interested volunteers to complete the inquiry form, as our needs and schedules evolve.
