VOLUNTEER • ボランティア

Our variety of programs and services are made possible by our wonderful volunteers. Volunteers assist at events and at the OAA Center in the office or the library, as well as donate their skills and talents. Volunteering helps make a difference in the 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.
