Volunteers needed to register ʻohana

by Elaine Tamashiro, volunteer director Volunteer deputy enrollment registrars are still needed for Operation 'Ohana, an enrollment of all Hawaiians. Volunteers are continually needed because Operation 'Ohana is an ongoing program whieh will eonhnue until all Hawaiians worldwide, over 200,000, are enrolled. Operation 'Ohana encourages all persons with any blood quantum of Hawaiian to join together in one allianee starting with families and expanding to include the entire community. To become a deputy enrollment registrar for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs' Operation 'Ohana, you must complete a training session (two to three hours), agree to abide by the enrollment procedures and/or policies of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and be certified by the OHA community

liaison or Operation 'Ohana Staff. Training sessions are generally scheduled at times convenient to volunteers. Deputy enrollment registrars normally register their own 'ohana first then extend their services to the community.
