When you arrive to the center on Sunday morning, have you noticed that the doors are open, the lights are on, the offering bowls are filled, and there is hot water for tea downstairs and at the teaching table? This is because a few of your dharma siblings have set aside some of their time to prepare this for you. Please sign up to make these Sunday Practices possible!
The volunteer roles are:
Descriptions – Coaching can be provided when you are learning a role. Contact Sally Mead – mead.sally@gmail.com

We are thankful to have a large group of volunteers supporting the many activities and service groups involved in running KCC. There are MANY WAYS to get involved! We will work together to find you a role that fits right. We want you to have a rewarding experience.
In addition to our volunteers, we are fortunate to have our wonderful staff, with Tim Campbell leading the way as our managing director. Cynthia Irvine is KCC’s excellent bookkeeper. Wilder Lyon and Vicki Fields are the caretakers at our retreat land, Ser Chö Ösel Ling.
With volunteering, there are so many options to get involved, ranging from serving on the Board of Directors to Sunday Openers, Closers and Shrine tenders.
