Volunteer

"Our true wealth is our growing volunteer staff that is dedicated to helping Theravadin bhikkhunis worldwide. Please join us - welcome!

-AfB Founder & President Susan Pembroke

 

The Alliance for Bhikkhunis depends almost entirely on dedicated, caring, creative volunteers to do our work. Without the generous giving of time, talents, and energy by volunteers, we would not be here. Please consider joining the AfB family so that this important work can continue. Ultimately, protecting the Bhikkhuni Sangha falls to people, to you and me.
