Publicity Co-Coordinator. Assist Isabelle in making on-going and special events at Vipassana Santa Cruz known to the community through announcements in the local papers and radio stations. Requires approximately 1 to 2 hours per month.

If this or any other volunteer opportunity sounds interesting to you, please complete the volunteer form.

Open/Close the Meditation Hall. If you sit regularly on Tuesdays, would you consider offering service to VSC once a month? We particularly need volunteers for the 1st, 2nd or 4th Tuesday sits. Ann and Carol will train you on how to open and close our hall, set the heat/fans properly and arrange cushions. There are substitutes if you are not available due to illness, vacation, etc.

If this or any other volunteer opportunity sounds interesting to you, please complete the volunteer form.

If you would like to deepen your practice through service to the sangha, but are unsure of how you want to help, please fill out the on-line form or the orange paper at the Center. You will see that a variety of opportunities are available, ranging from very simple and quick to very complex and more time consuming tasks. Please join our group of VSC Volunteers and meet more dharma buddies!
