ʻO kēia kou kuleana nui: E ‘ōlelo Hawai’i! Encourage conversations by greeting and assisting people. Make the experience fun! No volunteers will be doing the jobs of EK Fernandez staff. For safety purposes, their trained staff will be operating the large machinery and working the majority of the booths. Volunteers assisting with the games and information booths may be asked to be inside those booths alongside EK Fernandez staff.
Shift 1 (Last names N-Z): 5:00pm - 7:30pm
Shift 2 (Last names K-M): 7:30pm - 10:00pm
Shift 3 (Last names A-J): 10:00pm - 12:30am
General shift assignments are broken down by last name. Shift 1 includes setup. Shift 3 includes clean up. Clean up involves helping to take down kāniwala signage and returning it to the volunteer booth. Specific assignments are now available.

To help commemorate this historic evening, take cool pics and video (where people can hear our ‘ōlelo makuahine being spoken). Post to social media using the hashtag #kaniwala.
You could buy tickets for your keiki to ride on Ka Hololio Pōniuniu. You could toss darts, kahi, lua, kolu, and win a giant pea pā‘ani. Imagine an evening of fun with your ‘ohana and everyone around can ‘ōlelo!
On June 29th, there will be a Pō ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i, Hawaiian Language Night, at the carnival. The more we gather to create these ‘ōlelo spaces, the more they will just happen on their own as well. So let’s make these things we imagine come true!
