Volunteering at Nagarjuna Centre is fun and rewarding, it’s a great way to meet new people and enjoy the peace and harmony of a Buddhist community.

As a non-profit organization, our centre is staffed by volunteers. Your help is invaluable to us in being able to provide this resource to the community. Every bit of help you offer is bringing peace and loving-kindness closer for all the people in Leicester!

We can also offer working visits, where in exchange for 35 hours of work a week, you receive full board and access to all the classes and meditation courses at the centre.
