“My religion is kindness.”
The Insight Meditation Community of Charlotte is a voluntary organization and depends on volunteers to carry out its mission of making the Buddha’s teachings available to all who seek them. In volunteering our time and talents, we extend loving kindness to our sangha, the community and the world. Volunteering is an important way to give dana (Pali for generosity) to the sangha (Pali for community); volunteering nurtures the heart and enriches lives. Contact the Programs committee at Programs@IMCCharlotte.org.
Volunteer Opportunities
Program Committee
This committee plans and organizes the logistics around classes, day-long teachings, and/or weekend retreats. Activities include communication and transportation assistance for guest speakers, set up and registration / check-in management.
Greeters & Sangha Set Up
These individuals, led by the IMCC Coordinator, handle the set up and cleanup associated with our meetings on Wednesday nights and act as greeters for people as they arrive. This is a great way to occasionally help support the work of the Sangha. Set up volunteers are critical to the successful functioning of our weekly groups. There is little training required and you can volunteer as often or as little as your schedule allows.
