Seva Opportunities
On Saturdays, the center is bustling with volunteers. With nearly 180 acres, the property requires all kinds of ongoing attention and care. The orchards and gardens offer a great opportunity to spend the day outdoors in nature. Several teams of volunteers maintain Amrita Hall, keep The Amma Shop going and help with the various construction jobs that are part of maintaining such a large property. Whether you have plenty of time or just a few hours now and then, there is a place here for you to volunteer. Contact macsr.seva@macenters.org for more information.
