Volunteering



Venerable Geshe Kelsang has described the International Temples Project as ‘a beautiful gift for future generations.’We are extremely fortunate to have such a special opportunity to make a contribution to world peace.  There are many ways in which you can help the International Temples Project:

Opportunities for everyone

The temple is a nonprofit organization that operates though the kindness of volunteers.  By volunteering you will:

• make new friends
• be part of creating meaningful events
• find volunteer opportunities for all abilities and interests

Some ways you can offer to help: cooking, cleaning, maintenance work, sewing, gardening, building, graphic design… and much more!  Whatever your skills, let us know and we will find an opportunity for you to help.

You are welcome to help out at any time, either when you have spare time or on a regular basis. Please stop by, contact us or fill the form here.

 You are welcome to join us every other Thursday morning at 9:30am for Temple Cherishing, where we work together to take care of the temple!  See calendar for dates.

Working visits

Working holidays are an ideal opportunity for an enjoyable, rewarding break where you can get to know and work with our thriving community.

Working visitors do a week’s work and receive accommodation, meals and the opportunity to attend general drop-in classes. The work might be gardening, painting, cleaning or ironing. People with building experience and graphic design are particularly welcome!
