Community Volunteers

Community Volunteers
“By supporting and caring for each other, they make a beautiful neighborhood”

Since its campaign on Community Volunteering in 1996, Tzu Chi volunteers are encouraged to cultivate themselves in their own community, through the sharing at group gathering, their professionalism and volunteering spirit are elevated. To recruit more volunteers, they will carry out "Spread the Seeds of Love" tea parties, encouraging the neighborhoods to join the Great Love activities. Also, they actively look for people in need in their community. The founding of the "Community Volunteering" system is a realization of the Confucius ideal "The Beauty of Community". Through the initiative of the volunteers, a network of inter-connected communities is set up, so the community residents can live at ease in the peaceful community, and they can also help and watch other communities.

Local activities

Culinary volunteers

There are vegetarian cooking classes by showcasing delicious food such as sushi, baked goods and Taiwanese snacks. Volunteers often share recipes at various events while everyone enjoys the food. This joyous celebration of healthy and sustainable foods slowly cultivates a heart of compassion in all.

Cleaning Volunteers

We promote water conservation by doing gray water repurposing for gardening, as well as making fermenting enzymes from composting fruit peels. The enzymes reduce our reliance on chemical cleaning products.
We also teach a class on making a rain barrel to collect and reuse rain water.
