Training: Shelter-Based Projects

IHS After-School Activities

For the IHS After-School Activities, 12 hours of service is the minimum per semester, and you must commit to service for at least three months.

Training takes place before your first service hours begin. Thereafter, the Family Specialist will give you instruction for each day’s activities. You should also talk with her at the end of each shift to debrief and have your timesheet signed.

Training Process
  1. Register for service-learning online and print your Connection/Waiver form (receive it upon registering for service-learning).
  2. Complete the online IHS volunteer application. On the application, share your relevant experience and mention that you are a current Chaminade service-learning student, interested in helping with the after-school activities. Include your major and be specific with your hours of availability as they correspond with the IHS service-shifts.
  3. An IHS staff member will contact you to schedule training and service hours.
  4. Bring your Connection/Waiver form (printed upon registering for service-learning online) to the training for a signature.
  5. Complete and return the Connection/Waiver form to the Service-Learning Office. You’ll then receive a timesheet to log your hours.

Training can generally be scheduled:

  • Tuesday–Friday, 2:30–4:30 PM
  • Wednesdays, beginning 1:30 PM
Notes
  • Scheduling is done on an individual basis.
  • Questions can be directed to the IHS Volunteer Coordinator at (808) 447-2809.

Next Step Shelter

This site is closed for the current semester.

For the keiki tutoring program and Next Step Shelter, 20 hours of service per semester is strongly encouraged.

Instructions for Making a Volunteer Commitment:
For any questions please CONTACT the S-L OFFICE.

  1. Register for service-learning online and print your Connection/Waiver form (receive it upon registering for service-learning).
  2. Send an email to service.learning.cuh@gmail.com. Share your name, course info (including professor’s name), weekly availability for volunteering (within these time frames: Sun/Mon/Tues, 5:30–7:30 PM) and the reason want to volunteer at Next Step as your service site. Also, include which pre-scheduled orientation you will be attending. At least two days notice is required before attending an orientation.
  3. You will receive a reply with instructions regarding orientation.
  4. Bring your Connection/Waiver form (printed upon registering for service-learning online) to the orientation for a signature.
  5. Complete and return the Connection/Waiver form to the Service-Learning Office. You’ll then receive a timesheet to log your hours.

Arrive at orientation by 4:45 pm. It will be held in the Keiki Corner of the Next Step Shelter. Students who arrive late will not be allowed to complete the orientation session that day.

There is a limited number of space available for tutors at Next Step; the sooner you get started, the more likely you’ll be accepted.

Notes
  • If you have plans to participate in a pre-scheduled training that takes place after the registration due date, you should still register for service-learning online. Print the connection form and send an email to service.learning.cuh@gmail.com before the due date, indicating your site and your plans.
  • For planning/orchestrating special projects at Next Step, please email the Service-Learning Office and express your interest and ideas. After receiving approval, you must attend a Next Step Orientation, at which you can explore the possibilities or solidify the details with the site supervisor, Mr. Kapua Tani or Nadine.
  • If you’ve already completed training and served at Next Step Shelter during a previous semester, contact Service-Learning Office. You don’t need to retake the training but will need to secure a volunteer placement. Email service.learning.cuh@gmail.com with your first and last name, the semester when you previously completed training and service at Next Step, your current service-learning professor’s name and course information.
