Karma Yoga Work Party

Karma Yoga Day at PIMC: a chance to practice selfless service through cleaning, tidying, and garden care. Stay for an hour or the whole time. Pizza provided—please RSVP to help us plan food and dietary needs. All are welcome!

Heartfelt gratitude to our volunteers, past and present
Currently we are in need of:

Hospitality

Every Sunday after the morning program, the Sangha gathers for coffee, tea, snacks, and community. Hospitality volunteers help set up and clean up—a fun way to support PIMC and stay connected.

Handy Person

We're looking for someone with basic fix-it skills to help with occasional small repairs around the building. If you're handy and willing to lend a hand now and then, we'd love to hear from you.

Outdoor Stewardship

Help care for PIMC’s outdoor spaces through seasonal planting, pruning, watering, weeding, and general tidying—helping keep the center beautiful and welcoming year round.

AV Tech

​Join the Technical Team to support Audio/Visual needs during classes, Sunday programs, and hybrid events. Training is provided, and it’s a great way to connect with the PIMC community!
