How can I volunteer?
We value the contributions of volunteers and encourage our KS ʻohana to serve as a volunteer to enrich the overall educational experience for our haumāna. But we must do so safely as safety is our highest priority at KS. Kamehameha Schools requires that all volunteers who come in direct contact with students complete the following:
- Application to Volunteer (submitted annually)
- Criminal History Background Check through HireRight
- Online Volunteer Training entitled “Ensuring A Safe Learning Environment”
- Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance (required ONLY IF you anticipate volunteering for more than 30 days within the school year)
See our Registering as a volunteer at KSH page for more information and the forms for how to sign-up
