Waa'gey organizes the efforts of volunteers to pass specialized local knowledge from community elders to young people. Traditionally, this occurred as a matter of cultural and familial course in the Outer Islands that span from Yap Proper to Chuuk Lagoon. Today, with the introduction of the cash economy and a surge in emigration to the urban centers on high islands, continuation of such instruction must be deliberate. Ongoing Waa'gey projects include dugout canoe and handicraft carving as well as specialized skirt weaving.
