Come Join Our O’hana and Help Make a Difference!
Our volunteers are indispensable. They come from all walks of life to donate hundreds of hours of their time in nearly every department, extending the capacity for our paid staff to help animals and the people of Kauai. We couldn’t do all we do without our volunteers.
Some volunteers help two to three full days per week, while others give two to three hours; all commitments are greatly appreciated. In return, we offer opportunities for meaningful participation to anyone who wants to make a difference for animals.
Volunteering at the Kauai Humane Society is a rewarding experience. In exchange for your donated time, you can expect plenty of love and affection in return! Our more than 375 dedicated volunteers make our work possible. With the help of their service to KHS in nearly every area of the shelter, at our resale shop and out in the community, we are able to care for more than 4,300 homeless animals annually and provide programs and services to help both the animals and the people of our community.
