Gomde is run by volunteers, who put in countless hours of dedicated work to fulfill its mission: providing a North American  home for the teachings of the Chokling Tersar tradition. With the exception of the land manager and caretaker and a handful of summer program staff, everyone who works at Gomde is a volunteer. If you’d like to join the crew, see the Volunteer Opportunities page.
