Chamber of Commerce Hawaii

YP Hookuaaina Loi Volunteer Experience

Chamber of Commerce Hawaii’s Events unite the business community to enhance the state’s economic climate by fostering success for businesses and business leaders alike. Attend or sponsor a Chamber event to promote your company, build brand awareness, market to your target demographics, expand your network and invest in your local community.

Join us for an engaging, hands-on learning volunteer experience at the taro patch!

Educational volunteer experience at Hookuaaina including lessons about aina stewardship and the cultural significance of Kalo, followed by work in the loi (traditional taro patch) and lunch.

Hookuaaina is a community group using ancient Hawaiian traditions of kalo cultivation to engage and improve the lives of today’s youth. Hookuaaina hosts weekly community days. By participating, volunteers learn the traditional way of cultivating kalo and make meaningful connections to place and with one another while having fun in the mud.

Your registration fees are a donation to Hookuaaina and include the cost of the bento lunch.
