Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a workshop for board members of local youth centers. Billy and I are both on the board at the Paia Youth and Cultural Center. The event was a good chance to interact with other members of the community who support local youth centers, and to learn how we can help the PYCC during tough times for non-profits. One of the better resources that I received during the event was something that I thought may be of interest to readers of this blog. Many people who relocate to the island want to get involved in their new community. Just yesterday, I received an inquiry where a potential buyer was asking about volunteer opportunities. The county of Maui has created a guide that outlines volunteer opportunities at local non profits. The guide includes information on the different charities, links to their websites and contact information for their volunteer coordinators. Check out this page for current and ongoing volunteer opportunities on Maui.
