Help preserve one of the world’s most famous battleships, the "Mighty Mo"! You can spend an entire day touring Pearl Harbor but giving back for two hours or more can create an extra special experience and is necessary to preserve this floating museum. After all, when the USS Missouri was in service, approximately 2,500 sailors maintained the ship; but today, there are less than 25 staff members in charge of its maintenance. Opportunities include cleaning (where you can see parts of the ship that are not open to the public), sanding, sweeping, painting and more. The iconic ship is just eleven miles from Waikīkī and is one of the most popular attractions on the island. The ship’s history is now a symbol for the start of a new era of friendship and cooperation in the Pacific. By volunteering, you’ll be supporting the overall mission to preserve the Battleship Missouri and share her story. Due to the nature of the work, volunteers must be at least 13 years old with an accompanying adult or 16 without.

Historic Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, 63 Cowpens St., Honolulu
