Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Punahou School! We truly value the contributions of our volunteers and encourage our buff ’n blue ʻohana to get involved. Your participation helps enhance the educational experience for everyone.
To become an approved school volunteer, Hawaiʻi state law now requires that all schools pre-screen their volunteer applicants via the state’s Harm to Students Registry (HSR). This confidential registry, operated by the Department of Education, helps to maintain a safe learning environment for students, staff, and volunteers by preventing individuals who may have harmed or abused students in the past from being employed or volunteering in educational settings where they could have contact with students. The law, enacted July 1, 2024, requires schools to consult the registry before hiring new employees or allowing volunteers to work with students.
By submitting your application to volunteer, you are agreeing to have your name and date of birth checked against this registry.
