Volunteer with Makapo

Spread the aloha spirit!

If you love being outdoors, connecting with people, and lifting up a community that celebrates every ability, we’d be thrilled to have you join our volunteer crew. At Makapo, volunteers are the heartbeat of our programs—from Ohana Days to youth paddling to para-outrigger sessions—helping families feel welcome, supporting athletes on the water, and creating moments that spark confidence and joy. You don’t need paddling experience to jump in; just bring an open heart, a team mindset, and a willingness to learn.

​

Whether you’re guiding a first-time paddler, helping with equipment, cheering from the beach, or supporting events behind the scenes, you’ll become part of an ohana that truly cares about one another.
Our volunteers shape the experience for every participant who comes through our doors, and we couldn’t do this work without you. If you’re ready to make a difference, meet amazing people, and have a whole lot of fun doing it, we’d love to welcome you aboard.
