The Tibetan Community will surely benefit by your volunteer efforts, and you can too! Get some more insight into the benefits of donating your time to the Tibetan cause by reading below.

A Worthwhile Cause

Tibetans at home and living in exile have endured immense hardships due to the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Over 130,000 Tibetans are currently in exile and many are struggling to make a living as refugees in a new environment. Of the millions of Tibetans that are still in Tibet, besides being barred from religious freedom, they are economically oppressed by a government-orchestrated flood of Chinese immigrants, and stand little chance of preserving their cultural heritage. You can make a difference by volunteering your time and skills! (Click here for more information about the current situation for Tibetans.)

Open Your Heart and Put Compassion into Action

Have you ever been in a work environment that you could devote yourself to whole-heartedly? A place that greatly inspired you on a fundamental level? Volunteering offers an incredible opportunity to look within yourself, open your heart, and put your inspiration and compassion into action.

Experience the Tibetan Culture Firsthand

What better way to experience the Tibetan language and culture than by working within the Tibetan community? With a volunteer position, you'll become a part of the community, a memorable experience that will immerse you in the traditions and lifestyle of a fascinating culture.

Make New Friends Abroad

Many volunteers have the opportunity to make long-lasting friendships with local Tibetans. As a volunteer, you're not just a tourist passing through, and there are many opportunities to make meaningful connections within the local community.

Great Job Experience

Working abroad is an invaluable experience in a world that grows increasingly connected every year. Our volunteer opportunities provide a unique experience in an even more unique environment!
