Day of Caring


Day of Caring

The Buddhist Center of Steamboat Springs is sponsoring a Day of Caring volunteer project at Perry Mansfield, Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 from 9:00am to 11:30am (MT).

Perry-Mansfield’s Mission is to provide young people superior arts training in body, heart and mind and to promote creativity, a sense of the close association of the arts, and the values of a way of life close to nature.

Day of Caring is a half-day event that connects volunteers with projects for nonprofits, government, and low-income individuals in the community, hosted by United Way of the Yampa Valley since 1998. Every spring, individual and corporate volunteers join forces to share their time and talents on projects at nonprofits across the Yampa Valley. Volunteers who participate in Day of Caring gain first-hand experience in how giving back to their community through work that saves labor costs and allows nonprofits to invest their efforts where they make the greatest impact.

How can I participate?

Come join your sangha friends for a morning of caring and sharing. Volunteering is essential to keeping our community connected and supporting local causes.

No matter what comes along, we’re always standing at the center of the world in the middle of sacred space, and everything that comes into that circle and exists with us there has come to teach us what we need to know.

Our life’s work is to wake up, to let the things that enter into the circle wake you up rather than put you to sleep.
