Prison Program Volunteer Opportunities

What does it mean to be a Buddhist Peace Fellowship Prison Program volunteer? Although there are a lot of different tasks, the essence of our work is simple: everyone has Buddha nature, every place is sacred, and every act is sacred practice. Practically speaking, that means licking a stamp, copying prison packets, or hauling boxes off the bookshelves are genuinely as important as answering letters, writing books, or teaching meditation.

There are several ways to help out as a volunteer with BPF's Prison Program. Currently, we can only use volunteers at our Berkeley, California office.

• Steady, ongoing commitment to a set number of hours each week
• Help out occasionally on special projects that you're interested in
• Join in our Turning Wheel mailing parties
