Focused on Mindfulness And Want to Make An Impact?  

Volunteer with us to help integrate mindfulness into the fabric of the Hamilton community and contribute to the well-being of all. By joining Mindfulness Hamilton, you’ll deepen your mindfulness practice, foster personal growth, and enjoy a stimulating experience with a committed group of peers who are passionate about mindfulness.  

Serve on a Committee  

Mindfulness Hamilton operates as a volunteer-run community organization that requires, through committees, the collaboration of individual member volunteers to steer its direction, generate action plans, manage resources and execute activities.  

Consider volunteering to serve on one of a number of committees, sub-committees and working groups: 

• Core Committee – receives monthly reports from the sub-committees; oversees the direction and planning for Mindfulness Hamilton activities; and attends to tasks not covered by the subcommittees such as volunteer recruitment and coordination   
• Budget Sub-Committee – develops and keeps track of budgets; recommends potential fundraising options to advance the MH Mission.  
• Connections Sub-Committee – plans and supports several MH events throughout the year; attends community events and plans other community outreach; works on building teacher networks, and produces a monthly newsletter
• EDI Sub-Committee – engages in and facilitates equitable & inclusive access to mindfulness programs and provides outreach to organizations
• Website Sub-Committee – assists with keeping the website up-to-date; post member events on the website

We will then contact you to arrange a time to discuss your involvement and invite you to a Core Committee meeting so you can get to know us a little better.
