Red Clay Sangha is a refuge. It is a place we come to engage in the practice taught by the Buddha that moves us towards freedom, towards liberation, towards nirvana. Volunteering within the sangha is a way of deepening your refuge, by offering a form of dana to your fellow sangha members. In most Buddhist traditions, working in and for the community is recognized as a form of practice. We can bring our generosity and mindfulness to bear, and know that while our work is important, we are offering our generosity in a kind and forgiving space. It is also a wonderful way to build community and relationships and to actively participate in your sangha. So if you're in a place where this feels like something that might make sense, please take a look at the list of volunteer opportunities below, and make a selection that feels right for you. But remember: it's important not to overwhelm ourselves or to turn work into a distraction.
