Volunteer Tuition and Application
Standard Tuition Fees
Tuition fees are contributions that support the overall educational volunteer program. Volunteers receive many amenities including accommodations, meals, classes, excursions, pool/spa, 120-acre botanical coastal environment, and free laundry use. Because Kalani Honua, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, volunteers are eligible for a full charitable tax deduction for the expense of tuition and travel to Kalani.
Tuition Rates:
The One Month Volunteer Program is $1,000 (approx. $33 per day).
The Three Month Volunteer Program is $1,500 (approx. $17 per day).
Upon acceptance into the program, a deposit of $300 is required to hold your space.
Scholarships
Regardless of financial ability, Kalani attempts to include every qualifying applicant. A limited number of partial scholarships may be available for persons who clearly qualify for volunteering and have limited financial means. Please indicate on the volunteer application if you would like to apply for such assistance. Please note that preference is given to three-month applicants and that funds are more available in the summer months.
