Sangha Volunteer Opportunities

Jikoji is a thriving Soto Zen practice center and community.

We are transitioning and growing with new Guiding Teachers, expanded program offerings, and an ever-increasing interest in the Buddha's teachings and Zen practice.

We are seeking additional support from people wanting to make a difference at Jikoji. Sign up to help support our community and those seeking to learn and deepen their practice.

Our community of volunteers are reliable, responsible and committed to the practice of Zen. Ideally, additional volunteers will commit to at least a few hours a week, but any and all time given is greatly appreciated.

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out this form. We will be coordinating a volunteer orientation in the very near future to provide more information and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to Jikoji. We are grateful for every one of you and look forward to working together to create a thriving community of practitioners.

Your generosity supports our teaching and meditation programs, helps us renovate and maintain our buildings and grounds, and lets us extend our teachings and offerings to the world beyond our Santa Cruz Mountains temple as we make a growing number of events available to our expanding online Sangha.
