A UH-Mānoa Registered Independent Organization can help you get connected...

The more than 100 current Registered Independent Organizations (RIOs) at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa serve the campus and greater community by providing leadership development for students and by promoting community spirit, activism, public service, and social, recreational, and cultural interaction among UHM students, faculty, and staff.

Co-curricular Activities, Programs & Services (CAPS) values programs and services that complement all students' educational development and support the development and growth of Registered Independent Organizations. RIOs provide a laboratory of citizenship for training students in leadership and social responsibility. RIOs afford students the opportunity to practice decision-making skills, develop interpersonal communication skills, learn to reduce conflict and solve problems, develop group management skills, and express opinions and thoughts clearly.

How to get involved with an existing RIO

If UHM has an organization that matches your interests, you can get in touch with the RIO directly. Go to Registered Independent Organizations List to see if the RIO has an active website. Or you can contact the Co-curricular Activities, Programs & Services (CAPS) office at 956-8178 or come to Campus Center 208 for the RIO's contact information.
