The PFA Sustainability Committee welcomes your participation in supporting sustainability efforts at Punahou School. Here's how you can help:
* Feel free to use PFA's "Community Set of Reusables" (reusable cups, plates, forks, spoons, and cloth napkins). The sets are available to groups and classes on campus who would like to go papergoodless for functions. Six sets of thirty of each item are available by contacting the PFA Sustainability Committee at 944-5752 or at pfa@punahou.edu.
* Take part in PFA's Papergoodless Initiative. When you attend an event where food is served, bring your "reusable dining set" to help PFA's efforts to reduce waste on campus and support Punahou School's 2016 Sustainability Challenge.

Punahou's Parent Faculty Association (PFA) is a non-profit volunteer organization that works in partnership with Punahou School to support and enrich the School's vision, programs, and activities to benefit all members of the Punahou community. The PFA is an inclusive organization that provides volunteer opportunities, volunteer training, and educational programs to help parents meaningfully engage in their child's Punahou experience.
The PFA Goals are to:
* Increase communication among the members of the Punahou Community.
* Support School programs and activities and provide opportunities which enrich the Punahou Community.
* Encourage engaged and sustained participation in the PFA
Volunteer!
There are so many ways you can help--you can volunteer for a short, one-time project or join an ongoing committee. The personal gratification of getting involved in the PFA and sharing these experiences with friends (old and nw) make volunteering a truly rewarding experience!
The Punahou community enjoys a wide variety of activities that would not be possible without PFA sponsorship. Thousands of volunteer hours are required to make it all happen.
