Get Involved: Help Save Kauaʻi’s Forest Birds!

There are many ways you can directly contribute to saving Kauaʻi’s precious forest birds. Whether you’re a home crafter or an experienced outdoor enthusiast, we have opportunities for everyone. We especially appreciate volunteers who can commit to a regular schedule, such as several days a week or once a week, as this minimizes training time and maximizes your impact.

Important Notice: Please note that we require at least two weeks’ notice for all volunteer opportunities.

Interested? We’d love to hear from you! Please contact us with the following information to help us best match you with a suitable opportunity:

1. Area of Interest, Category of Service (see list below), and Experience: Briefly describe your experience and how you’d like to contribute.
2. Resume (optional): While not required, a resume can be helpful.
3. Location Preference: Indicate whether you prefer to work remotely or on Kauaʻi.
4. Availability: Let us know your general availability (e.g., days of the week, times).

Specific Opportunities:

• Field Work: Currently, our primary field work opportunity is mosquito trapping. Opportunities for other field work, are extremely limited and require highly skilled volunteers who can commit to many weeks of service. If you are interested in field work beyond mosquito trapping, please include the following in your email:

  • Your level of physical fitness.
  • The maximum number of consecutive days you can commit.
  • Whether you are able to spend the night in the field.

• Remote Work: Our remote opportunities are primarily focused on data analysis. These roles require advanced skills and a long-term commitment.

• Office Work: We welcome volunteers at our office to help with various office-based tasks. As with all our volunteer positions, we prioritize volunteers who can commit to several days or once a week to ensure efficiency.

•  Outreach: Help us connect with the community and spread awareness about the importance of protecting Kauaʻi’s forest birds! Outreach opportunities may include:

  • Community Events: Staffing information booths at local festivals, farmers’ markets, or other events. This could involve talking to the public, distributing educational materials, and answering questions about KFBRP’s work.
  • Social Media: Assisting with creating engaging content for our social media channels, such as writing blog posts, designing graphics, or managing our online presence.
  • Education: Developing educational materials, such as brochures, flyers, or activity sheets, for distribution to the public
