You need not be Buddhist, so long as you are open to working and living in a Buddhist community. All levels of experience are welcome.

Volunteers 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday – Friday and Saturdays from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm. A minimum commitment of six months is required. The Buddhist tradition has always emphasized community, the Sangha, one of the three foundations of the path.

• How can we support each other on the path to Awakening?
• How can we share by example what we are learning?
• How can we contribute to the preservation and transmission of the Tibetan Buddhist lineage and share with the world what this 1400-year old tradition has to offer?

If these questions inspire you, we invite you to explore them in an immediate, embodied way by participating in Tibetan Aid Project’s Work Study Program.

 We strive to promote awareness of these significant teachings through our work-study program providing participants the opportunity to share their skills, while also gaining an understanding of work as meditative practice. This allows us to learn through direct experience, developing a heart connection that permeates throughout all experience,
