Kunsang Yeshe Retreat Centre is a not-for-profit organisation which has been 100% run by volunteers throughout its 30+ year history. Volunteers enable us to survive, thrive and contribute to the happiness of our Mountains community by supporting Buddhist teachings at our Centre. So volunteering for Kunsang Yeshe supports the Centre in important ways and, in our experience, can also give our volunteers a sense of joy, purpose and belonging. It is also a way to meet new people and provide service to the dharma.
