Description

Lhamen Foundation is seeking a motivated volunteer to help strengthen the operational and outward-facing backbone of our nonprofit. We're flexible on focus — whether your strengths lie in social media and content creation, project coordination, or administrative support, there's a meaningful way to contribute to spreading the Dharma and our work across healing, sacred knowledge, and contemplative practices. This is a part-time, short-term role with the possibility of transitioning into a longer-term position, and we're happy to shape the role around what you do best.

In return for your service, you'll get access to our teachings and retreats, both in person and online. You'll also be part of a new, quickly growing organization connecting people worldwide with teachings and practices that foster peace, compassion, and healing.

We'll work with you to find the mix of responsibilities that best matches your skills and interests.
