Volunteers are an essential part of the Go For Broke National Education Center. To ensure that its operations run smoothly and its educational programs thrive, Go For Broke relies on countless hours of volunteer support. Here, many opportunities exist to support Go For Broke and ultimately give back to the community. Go For Broke provides a rewarding, yet fun volunteer experience. Volunteers range from recently retired seniors, WWII veterans and wives, to high school students receiving volunteer hour credits by coming after school. College students also help on weekends (as needed) and special events such as Evening of Aloha. Additionally, volunteer or student groups needing class or group projects are welcome. Here, many opportunities exist to support Go For Broke and ultimately give back to the community.
