Hawaiian Humane Society Volunteer Needs Due to the Kona Low Storm

At this time we are not in need of additional volunteers for direct storm-related support. Though recovery efforts are just getting started, this could change as things evolve.  

The most impactful thing you can do right now is make a monetary donation. The recovery ahead for the families in Waialua and Haleʻiwa will unfold over months, and flexible funding allows us to direct resources  where they are needed most.

If you prefer to donate supplies, please check our Amazon Wishlist for our most current needs before purchasing anything, as our needs will fluctuate as recovery efforts get underway. 

To learn more about how to donate and support our recovery efforts, visit HawaiianHumane.org/recovery. 

 

Mahalo for your interest in joining our volunteer program! When you join the Hawaiian Humane ʻohana, you’re joining a community of volunteers and staff committed to providing love and support for the pets in our care.

Volunteer Requirements 

  • Time Commitment – Volunteers must be able to make a commitment of 3 hours per week for at least three months, with the exception of foster parents and other select volunteer roles. After your first 3 months, we ask that you strive to volunteer 8 hours per month thereafter. 
  • Availability & Scheduling – Utilizing a scheduling system allows us to anticipate when volunteers are available, and when we need to solicit more help. As we do rely on our volunteers to support staff to care for the animals and to serve our community, it is required to have a regular, weekly scheduled shift. Shifts are typically offered in 3-hour shifts. 
  • Age – Most volunteer roles require you to be at least 18 years old. Limited positions are available to the youth 8-14 years of age with an adult and youth 15-17 years of age independently.
  • Youth interested in getting involved, but unable to make the time commitment, can also check out our education and service-learning opportunities
