Volunteering with Kanu Hawaii

Organizations across the islands post what they need help with. You search, you sign up, you turn up. That is the whole product.

You do not need an account to sign up

Most opportunities take a guest signup: your name, your email, and how many people you are bringing. That is enough for an organizer to expect you.

An account is worth having anyway, because it keeps things a guest signup cannot:

• Your hours, including a running total you can show a school, a court, or an employer
• The opportunities you saved to think about
• What you signed up for, in one list, with the details of each
• What you are interested in, so what we send you is closer to what you would have chosen

Create an account , or carry on as a guest and make one later. Signups you made as a guest with the same email address move onto the account by themselves.

The guides

1. Find an opportunity. Searching, filtering, the map, and what the listings are telling you.
2. Sign up. What the signup form asks, bringing other people, waivers, and cancelling.
3. Your hours. How hours get counted, logging your own, and hours with a group that is not on Kanu.
4. Campaigns. Themed collections of opportunities, and how their progress bars work.
5. Your account. Signing in, your profile, and what we are allowed to email you.

A note on who you are dealing with

Organizations are reviewed by Kanu Hawaii before they appear, and their listings say who to contact. Contact details on an opportunity are the organizer’s, and the organizer is who to ask about what to wear, where to park, and whether it is still on if it rains.
