Meet Two Volunteers Helping Shape Our Future

News

We are delighted to share two exciting volunteer updates as Thubten Kunga Ling continues to grow.

Please join us in welcoming Hana Berlin, who is joining our Spiritual Program Coordination team. Hana will work alongside Don Tichenor, sharing many of the responsibilities involved in coordinating the Center’s spiritual programs. Together, they will help organize teachings, retreats, pujas, and other events while supporting our teachers and ensuring our programs run smoothly.

We are also pleased to welcome Angela Glanzman as our new Volunteer Coordinator. Angela will help recruit, organize, and support our wonderful volunteers, making it easier for community members to get involved and serve in meaningful ways.

We are deeply grateful to both Hana and Angela for generously offering their time and talents in service to the Center. Please join us in thanking them and wishing them every success in these important roles.

Our Center thrives because of the generosity of volunteers. Whether you greet visitors on Sundays, prepare offerings, help with setup and cleanup, coordinate programs, maintain our website, or quietly lend a hand behind the scenes, every act of service helps make the Dharma accessible to others. No contribution is too small, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who gives their time and talents.

If you’ve been looking for a way to get more involved, we’d love to hear from you. There are many opportunities to volunteer, whether you can help occasionally or on a regular basis. Reach out to Angela at volunteer@thubtenkungaling.org, or speak with us at the Center to learn more.
