HŌ‘OLA IĀ KAHO‘OLAWE

Volunteers gather in front of the ‘Ōhua, just outside the KIRC's Kihei Boat House

 Developed through a 2015 grant partnership with the County of Maui Product Enrichment Program (CPEP), new opportunities are available at our Kihei, Maui Boat House property — the future site of the Kaho‘olawe Education and Operations Center — to Hō‘ola iā (revitalize) Kaho‘olawe! Pick a date and email kmchugh@kirc.hawaii.gov to confirm your participation.

School field trips to volunteer for the KIRC help bring together teachers, students, parents and others for community service and cultural learning opportunities.
