Volunteer (Seva) Programs

Seva means selfless service. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that our first and foremost commitment in the world is to do seva.

Worldwide

The Art of Living Foundation is a global service organization that has made an extraordinary impact on local communities around the world. Made up almost entirely of volunteers, the Foundation has provided trauma relief and peace initiatives to thousands of people in places of raging conflict, areas devastated by war and natural disaster, inner cities and prisons.

At the Centre : Days & Weekends

Throughout the year, the Centre organizes days and weekends to provide offer opportunities for people to perform selfless service. Activities include, for example, painting, gardening, landscaping, housekeeping, construction, maintenance, and cooking. We put our efforts and skills together to spruce up the Centre. And there's always a lot of fun on the menu! Everyone is welcome. Simply check our events calendar on the homepage to see the dates.

Short-term Seva

Whether you have a few hours or a few days to offer, just give us a call if you would like to lend a hand and we’ll be more than happy to have you join us.

Art of Living Service Program

Expand your mind. Challenge your concepts. Find the freedom gained in selfless service. The Centre is receiving volunteer applications for a wide array of work. In a friendly and caring atmosphere, all are welcome to come learn about themselves, acquire new skills, and expand their horizons. The Centre’s Art of Living Service Program is a structured four-to-six-month internship for committed and energetic individuals. It offers applicants a unique opportunity to volunteer in an atmosphere of silence, sadhana (daily meditation practice) and satsang (knowledge and singing). All interns will be provided with room, board and opportunities to participate in complimentary Art of Living programs. We would be pleased to have students use the Service Program for college credit.
