Volunteering with Lamrim foundation is completely free of charge, and we provide accommodation and meals. Keep in mind that you will be responsible for the cost of your travel both to and from the program, meals on your day(s) off, and any costs associated with your days off.

Visit our current list of active programs and once you find a program (or multiple!) that suits your fancy, follow the ‘next’ link to proceed with your application!

Residential Volunteers (RVs) stay on our base with us for the duration of their volunteer experience. They are able to stay on base from their invited arrival date to their invited departure date (including days off) and they receive 3 meals/day for each day in the field. RVs must be at least 18 years. Day Volunteers (DVs) arrange their own accommodation, transportation, and food for the duration of their volunteer experience. Volunteers age 16 and 17 are welcome to join as Day Volunteers, provided they are joined by a guardian at least 18 years of age who will also be joining as a Day Volunteer.

We would love your help as a Day Volunteer! You’ll still need to apply for the appropriate program you would like to participate in, but you would join us for the day(s) you are available.

There is no minimum amount of time needed to volunteer with us. There is also no set start or end date, but each program has specific days of the week when they accept incoming volunteers. Please refer to the information packet you will receive. 

Yes, we can arrange your transportation. 

It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain the correct visa information prior to their trip. While we’re happy to provide visa invitation letters once the applicant is confirmed, we recommend calling your local embassy for the most up to date requirements and steps to obtaining a visa.

Consider the costs of transport to and from the program, laundry, meals on your days off and breaks every 30 days.

In a communal living environment, it is important that we take time away not only for physical health – but most importantly our mental health. All staff and volunteers will take a 3 day break away from the program every 30 days; all costs associated with this are funded by the individual.

We require volunteers to be up to date with their tetanus vaccination. As other recommendations depend on your personal circumstances you should check with a medical professional regarding all other possible vaccines and preventative medicines. We expect our volunteers to be both physically and mentally fit.

Each day depends on the scope of work that the home or school you are placed on requires. Each work day is from about 8 AM-4 PM, however these hours change depending on the needs of the program you volunteer for. After you return home from the worksite, you will have a chance to unwind, relax, and reflect on your day as a part of our nightly team meetings. 

Each week, there will be designated day(s) off as an opportunity for volunteers to unwind before the workweek begins. You will be responsible for all meals on your days off, as well as transportation costs and activity fees. Volunteers will often take it as an opportunity to explore the local community.

Volunteers who sign up to drive are a crucial part of making sure volunteers can get to and from the work site! As a driver, you would be taking your team to and from the worksite, but you’ll also be working in the field with the rest of your team.

Yes! Contact Volunteer Coordinator on your program and we’re happy to provide proof of your volunteer hours. More information : andrea@lamrimfoundation.com
