A wide array of meaningful volunteer opportunities are available for both skilled and unskilled individuals. Most volunteers work directly with Lha, while others are placed throughout the community with other NGOs.
We offer you the opportunity to share your knowledge and skills with the Tibetan refugee, local Indian, and Himalayan communities while gaining hands-on experience working with a non-profit, community social work organization.
As a volunteer with Lha you will be immersed in the fascinating culture of the people you are serving, develop friendships, learn about issues currently facing the Tibetan refugee community and create positive change in the lives of others.
At Lha, we aim to connect volunteers with opportunities, thereby creating valuable and unforgettable experiences. We offer relevant services and comprehensive courses and programs to our community, working within the wider network of other non-profit and governmental organizations in the local area.
Whether you are skilled or unskilled or have only one day or six months available, rest assured, there is always a way that you can participate.
