Your trip to Maui for your wedding or special event can become even more fulfilling by giving your time and getting to know more about the place where you’ve chosen to say “I do.” Volunteering with your family and guests can also be a rewarding way to connect and make new memories while giving back to the island & community. It’s the aloha way.
I’ve put together some ways to do this with local organizations below. Some have regular volunteer days and others require appointments. Whatever you choose, I’m sure you will be happy you did.
In the link below, you will find an episode from Conde Nast Traveler about their visit to Maui, to understand the delicate balance of encouraging visitors to experience the majesty of the island while simultaneously honoring the local communities and native ecology.
