Volunteer

Grow Some Good is always on the lookout for new garden volunteers. There are always a variety of volunteer opportunities! Help with watering and light maintenance in the mornings, or join a class and help with students during the day. We also have Mala Workdays or Work and Learn Days scheduled at various schools where volunteers help with general maintenance and are encouraged to bring gardening questions and share with the garden community.

A very special mahalo to all of our wonderful volunteers!

Corporate Workday Events

Grow Some Good connects students to their food sources and inspires better nutrition choices through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences in school gardens. You can help contribute to this valuable resource for students by bringing your staff out to a Corporate Workday.

While working with members of our Maui community, including students, volunteers and Grow Some Good staff, experience what is unique about gardening in Hawaii. Together we can make a big impact on our future farmers, chefs, scientists, teachers and community leaders.

Corporate workday projects are fully scale-able and designed to fit all skills and abilities.

Grow Some Good Corporate Workdays

Grow Some Good connects students to their food sources and inspires better nutrition choices through hands-on, outdoor learning experiences in school gardens. Our gardens are living science labs that cultivate curiosity about natural life cycles and encourage better stewardship of our resources. You can help contribute to this valuable resource for students by bringing your staff out to a Corporate Workday.

In addition to working with members of our Maui community – students, volunteers and Grow Some Good staff, come experience what is unique about gardening in Hawaii. Together we can make a big impact on our future farmers, chefs, scientists, teachers and community leaders.

Our corporate workday projects are fully scale-able and designed to fit all skills and abilities. For example:

Planting seeds for our nurseries to be used for future planting in gardens.
Building of raised beds for garden plants.
Building of benches and other equipment for our outdoor learning sessions.
Cleaning up planting beds as needed in the gardens and around campus, helping beautify the campus and inspire students and faculty.
Making and painting garden signs.

Scheduling & Location

We prefer school days as it is a great opportunity to engage students with volunteers, and for volunteers to meet Maui youth and learn from our students. We find 2-3 hour work periods are most successful, and 8:30 or 9:00am start time is recommended to avoid the hotter afternoons. We have several schools within 15 minutes of major resort areas in West Maui and South Maui.

The Grow Some Good project manager, along with your company event planner, will define the scope of projects, create the event budget and make plans for procuring items necessary for the workday. Workday date, times and location(s) must be confirmed 60 days prior to event.

Expenses

To secure your work date, we typically request a $500 deposit to cover initial planning and procurement, due 60 days prior to event.

To make the most of your workday we typically charge a rate per person based on the scope of work; this covers project management, planning, supplies, snacks and water.

We are happy to work with you on special projects for your team, and may charge a variable rate for special projects.

For Participants

For volunteers’ comfort and safety, we ask that all participants wear close-toed shoes and bring hats and sunscreen. We will provide tools, gloves and all the material needed. We will provide water and locally-sourced healthy snacks.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships are a great way to get exposure for your business while being recognized for supporting local organizations. Grow Some Good seeks sponsors for each of our school gardens, as well as for our annual Taste of School Gardens event.

Sponsors receive a generous recognition package with their donation. Please contact us for more information.
