Volunteers are an essential part of the Go For Broke National Education Center. To ensure that its operations run smoothly and its
educational programs thrive, Go For Broke relies
on countless hours of volunteer support. Here, many opportunities
exist to support Go For Broke and ultimately give
back to the community. Go For Broke provides a rewarding,
yet fun volunteer experience. Volunteers range from recently retired
seniors, WWII veterans and wives, to high school students receiving
volunteer hour credits by coming after school. College students
also help on weekends (as needed) and special events such as Evening
of Aloha. Additionally, volunteer or student groups needing class
or group projects are welcome. Here, many opportunities exist
