Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park proudly honors our volunteers!

At Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, there are numerous and diverse volunteer opportunities. Some of the most common are:

  • Interpreting the park to visitors with the goal of ensuring every visitor experience is a positive one by interacting with them at the visitor center.
  • Removal of invasive plants.
  • Assisting with native plant propagation and re-forestation.
  • Working in plant nurseries - seed collection.
  • Working with honuʻea (hawksbill sea turtles) and sometimes honu (green sea turtles), protecting the nests and maximizing survival of the hatchlings.
  • Administration.

Sound exciting? Please see below for current opportunities.
