All of the developments and activities of KMC Florida are organized and implemented through volunteer efforts. It is through the collective kindness and efforts of dozens of volunteers that we are able to offer meditation classes, courses and retreats on a regular basis and with reasonable costs.

Volunteer in the New Year!

As the new year begins, we often consider ways to make healthy changes in our life. Consider volunteering at the Temple for a few hours a week or month as an opportunity to improve yourself and give back to the larger community. Since our Temple is a non-profit entity and staffed almost exclusively by volunteers, additional help is always greatly needed. Regardless of age or skill level, there are many ways in which your time and good heart can benefit others through volunteering at the Temple. Scheduling is flexible and no experience is necessary.

To learn more, please contact the Temple by emailing info@MeditationInSarasota.org or calling 373-1600. Many thanks in advance for your wish to help!

We have a wide range of volunteers from high school students to retirees….If you enjoy gardening, maintenance work, arts & crafts, cooking, web design or office work, everyone is welcome to volunteer at KMC Florida.

If you would like a volunteer application, please visit KMC Florida or contact the Administrative Director – admin@MeditationInSarasota.org
