Old student service periods are a wonderful opportunity to serve with other old students, building dhamma friendships and community, while supporting the center’s maintenance and growth through working on projects that cannot be done during ongoing courses or in between course periods.

This upcoming service period will focus on continuing to work on the private cottages. The cottages are dried in and work is commencing inside including hanging radiant floor tubing, running wire, ceiling insulation, and drywall. Additionally, we will be finalizing the preparation of the center for winter and more.

Apply for full or part-time service, all skills will be put to use, but no skills are needed.

Construction is underway for the first 5 cottages on the North/Men's+ side of the campus. The aim is to have them dried-in by winter and then finished by early spring.
Old student service opportunities available this Fall. To get involved and help the center, see online schedule to apply.

In the spring of 2026, depending on finances, construction would start on another 10 or more cottages on the South/Women's+ side.
These initial 5 cottages will be built mostly by old students to be able to work within the Center's current financial situation. This will mean the project will take longer to complete but will save enormously on labor. The estimated cost for the first 5 cottages is $200K with an additional $70K for infrastructure.

If you would like to contribute to the project, you can make a tax-deductible donation through PayPal or larger donations can be arranged with the Treasurer by emailing [email protected]
