Volunteer Week Hawaii launched in 2018 as our local take on National Volunteer Week (celebrated annually since 1974). It is an opportunity to encourage people to get engaged in their communities and to recognize volunteers for their year-round contributions. This statewide, cross-sector campaign brings together residents, visitors, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and government agencies in a concerted effort to take grassroots action that serves our communities. Our collective impacts and volunteer hours captured through the Aloha+ Challenge, Hawaii’s local framework to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Volunteer Week Hawaii is the largest volunteer focused campaign in Hawaii and the largest state level celebration of National Volunteer Week in the United States.
