For organizers

Listing volunteer opportunities on Kanu Hawaii is free. You register your organization once, we approve it, and after that posting takes a few minutes.

The guides

• Getting started. The whole path in order: account, organization, approval, first opportunity. Start here.
• Register your organization. What the four registration steps ask for, what the statuses mean, and the settings on your profile.
• The dashboard. What each tab is for, and which of them each role can see.
• Post a volunteer need. The need form, section by section, and what is actually required.
• Invite your team. Adding colleagues, and what an owner, editor, and viewer can each do.
• Attendance and hours. Confirming who turned up, approving hours volunteers logged, and the settings behind both.
• Reports and exports. The numbers that come out of it, and the file a funder wants.
• Join a campaign. Getting your opportunities under a Kanu Hawaii campaign banner.
• Get Mālama certified. Hosting visiting volunteers, and reaching the visitor-facing partner sites.

The short version

1. Create an account  and verify your email.
2. Register your organization , unless it is already listed from the old website.
3. Wait for approval. You can keep working while you wait.
4. Post an opportunity from your dashboard.
5. Confirm who turned up, so the hours count.

Your organization may already be here

Much of the old kanuhawaii.org was carried across, organizations included. If yours is among them, signing up with the contact email on that listing makes you its owner automatically, with nothing to claim and nothing to register. Search organizations  for your own name before creating a second one.
