We love teen volunteers!

The Sugar Museum is a 1902 plantation manager's home on a beautiful little patch of green in Puunene, across the street from the historic sugar mill and post office. This combined shift (one hour at each desk) is ideal for students doing community service hours for graduation, or anyone wanting to interact with the public in a relaxed, fun, setting. We train you to do both, and it’s easy!

Tasks involved: Greeting customers and directing them into the gallery; ringing up sales on Square system; stocking shelves; pricing merchandise. Other "busy work" during down time such as folding brochures, and tidying up, as needed. Persons with a lot of Aloha and a flexible "can do" attitude are desirable for this position!

Current schedule is Monday-Thursday, 10-12 or 12-2. Schedule changes, so please inquire. We would like to meet you and show you around, so contact us today!

About Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum

Location:

3957 Hansen Road, P.O. Box 125, Puunene, HI 96784, US

Mission Statement

The Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum is a 501 c3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the history and heritage of the sugar industry and the multi-ethnic plantation life which it engendered.

Description

The story of sugar on Maui is told at the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum. We are the primary resource for information on the history of the sugar industry and its cultural heritage. We are located across from the1902 Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co. mill (now closed) in what was once the thriving plantation town of Puunene. The museum is housed in one of the few historic buildings remaining from that era and contains exhibits about one of the most significant and influential periods in the Islands’ history. It presents information about the sugar industry, depicts sugar’s influence on the development of Maui’s water resources, and describes plantation community life and the multi-ethnic immigrants who came here to work for the plantations. It also features displays on the inner workings of a sugar mill.
