Becoming a Volunteer at HVO
How do I become a volunteer?
- Step One
Choose the project(s) or team(s) for which you want to volunteer
(make sure you meet the requirements and time frame,
if specified).
- Step Two
Fill out and submit an application form for the project or
team for which you want to work. A copy of your application will
be sent electronically to the project team leader and HVO's volunteer
coordinator. A copy of the submitted application form will appear in your browser
immediately after you click on the submit button; save or print this file for
your records.
- Step Three
The team leader will review your application and contact you
directly for further information; because team leaders might be
traveling or on vacation, you may receive a response several weeks
after you submit your application. If you do not hear from a team leader,
it means that you are not being considered for a volunteer position.
- Step Four
If you are selected for a volunteer position, make your travel
arrangements to and from Hilo International Airport, Hawai`i. You
will be met at the airport and then driven to HVO or the guest house
in the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park.
How do I choose a project or team?
-
Go to type of work and click on
the various categories for a detailed description of the project,
including the research and monitoring goals, type of work, knowledge
and skills that may be necessary, and physical conditions that may
be needed to participate.
-
Note the earliest time that a volunteer position is available for
the type of work you choose.
What about health insurance?
-
All volunteers must have their own health insurance. You will be asked
to show proof of your health insurance when you arrive at HVO.
