Volunteer Resources
If you are interested in sitting with the Buddhadharma Sangha,
please fill out this application form
and email it, along with a picture, to sqsangha at gmail.com.
Volunteers should have an established Buddhist meditation practice,
some experience sitting with Buddhist groups, and a sensitivity to the
issues of prison chaplaincy. One of the program coordinators will interview
and orient prospective volunteers.

observe in the prison. Some details do not apply to volunteers on gate
clearances. A group coordinator will discuss these guidelines in detail
with new volunteers.
