The purpose of our Ambassador's Program is to let your online network (social media friends, family, peers, colleagues, neighbors) know that you've signed on to raise funds for a cause near and dear to your heart and that you need their help. Basically, you've got to get the word out to everyone you know to help you reach your fundraising goals. The goal is to share, share, share!

The Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica of the Tropical Science Center was established in 1972 as one of the first private areas for biodiversity conservation in Costa Rica. It is dedicated to conservation, research, and environmental education. Over the years, the Preserve has grown from 810 acres (328 ha) to over 10,193 acres (4,125 ha) and encompasses four life zones. Two percent of the total area is open to the public, while the rest is dedicated to conservation purposes.

To give you an idea of its importance on our planet, the Monteverde Preserve holds 2.5% of the world's biodiversity and hosts an astounding 50% of the species found in Costa Rica. More than 126 species of mammals, 448 species of birds, 60 species of amphibians, and 101 species of reptiles live here. It is one of the few remaining habitats in Costa Rica that supports all six feline species — jaguars, ocelots, pumas, oncillas, margays, and jaguarundis — in addition to endangered avian species like the three-wattled bellbird and resplendent quetzal. This protected cloud forest also provides numerous benefits to people, including pure air and clean water.

For over 30 years, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve’s Environmental Education Program has taught thousands of students to respect and appreciate our natural environment and resources. Through hands-on activities, these kids learn actions to safeguard our planet for the future. They grow up to be business owners, teachers, government leaders, and decision-makers with conservation mindsets. It is a model program for environmental education worldwide.

Income generated from tourists' visits to the Preserve fully funds the Environmental Education Program. Before 2020, this income easily covered the program's expenses. Unfortunately, the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic significantly reduced tourism since March 2020, which has depleted financial resources. We urgently seek funding to continue our vital education and conservation programs. Through donations from folks like you, we hope to raise $150,000 in 2021-2022 to continue our essential environmental education workshops, citizen science projects, and educational tours to the cloud forest.

Waimea Valley is hosting our annual Make A Difference Day volunteer event and we want to invite you to celebrate this national day of service with us!

We will have fun volunteering opportunities for participants of all ages and abilities.
volunteers can earn free admission to the valley and entry into a raffle with some awesome prizes.

It is sure to be a great day of giving back, and we would love to have you and your 'Ohana join us in helping to make sure that this Valley thrives for generations.

The event is divided into two sessions to allow for greater social distancing and smaller group sizes while maintaining a big impact on the valley.

The Schedule will look like this:
Morning session-
• 9:00am, Meet, check-in and get ready for the day
• 9:15am, Connect with cultural department for a quick overview of the significance of this valley and the opening ceremony protocol
• 9:30am we will begin the volunteering work. We have projects for all ages and abilities. The work will last for 2 hours.
• 11:30am we will break for lunch, volunteers free to enter the valley and visit with the community organizations.

Afternoon Session-
• 12:00pm, Meet, check-in and get ready for the afternoon
• 12:15pm, Connect with cultural department for a quick overview of the significance of this valley and the opening ceremony protocol
• 12:30pm we will begin the volunteering work. We have projects for all ages and abilities. The work will last for 2 hours.

We will be giving every volunteer an entry for our raffle. Remember that to get a raffle ticket, you must have signed in and filled a waiver that morning and filled a raffle card. We will hold the raffle as an online event a couple of days later and give away some great prizes for the volunteers including a 1-year pass to the valley.

We ask that everyone who is interested please RSVP so that we can plan an awesome day for you and your families.

To keep in line with the state guidelines, there are a few rules and systems in place for the volunteer events. The rules include things like maintaining social distancing, wearing masks in the visitors center and all indoor areas, proper sanitizing, and limiting group size. We follow these to protect everyone who visits or works here. We want to do our part to keep the case load in Hawaii low and keep our loved ones safe. Due to the major statewide spike in cases of the delta variant, we have introduced a new volunteer requirement effective as of October 1st 2021. We now require all participants 12 and older who will be volunteering at Waimea (both as individuals and in groups) to show either a negative Covid test from the past 48 hours or proof of vaccination. We are doing this to work with the Oahu Safe Access program (details here: Safe Access Oahu). The documentation will need to be shown to me on the day of the event and I will check off each person. There is an exception for participants under 12 years of age, but no other exceptions can be made. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause, but it is all part of the efforts being made by our management to reduce the risks faced by our staff, visitors, volunteers and local community, so we truly appreciate you doing your part to support this system. We will be sure to inform participants of any further changes and make sure that these rules are simple and relatively easy to follow.
Mahalo.

This will help us to get some much needed work done around the valley including cleaning up trash and removing invasive weeds from our botanical collections and it will help us to connect volunteers with other community organizations.
