Our variety of programs and services are made possible by our wonderful volunteers!

​Volunteers assist at events and at the OAA Center, as well as donate their skills and talents. Volunteering helps make a difference in our mission to preserve, promote, and perpetuate the language, arts, traditions, and history of Okinawa. It's also a wonderful way to meet fellow Uchinaanchu and Uchinaanchu-at-heart!

Student service hours available
