Volunteering to help with the tasks of running IWM is an invaluable form of dana, or generosity. Moreover, it is an important component of building community and a great way to meet others. Most of the work – from watering the plants to hosting events to serving on committees or the board of directors to cleaning to providing administrative and tech support is done by volunteers. The dedication of our volunteers is a precious offering that makes the teachings accessible to many.
If you would like to volunteer with us or have any questions, please email Volunteer@insightwma.org. Brief descriptions of some of the more common volunteer positions are listed below.
