The Experience

The café is a big part of our meditation center. General cleaning is involved in the café and also around the center. The café is a nice environment however can be very busy and physically demanding on your feet all day. We give you training however some knowledge of café environment food prep and cleaning is helpful. We work as a team helping each other. Two evening meditation classes are available weekly to attend plus some Sunday classes.

This second experience has been incredible. I'm grateful to the management team for inviting me back to work with them and excellent colleagues from around the world. It's very fun and enjoyable to work here. It's a caring and respectful environment where you can perform a variety of tasks, often very simple, while also practicing English. The location is excellent because it allows you to explore the city in your free time. I will be eternally grateful to World Peace Café.

This was my first volunteering experience, and it couldn't have been better. I met incredible people like Jemma, Kelly, Fabi, Dani, Millie, Mari, Emily, Sanyiah, Augustina, Diego, and Lorraine. Everyone at the center is willing to teach you new skills and share their knowledge about Buddhism. Even with the intense work, there is a harmonious and supportive atmosphere. The center is right in the heart of the city. I truly met people I will carry in my heart forever.

My first volunteering experience at the project center was excellent. The place has a very positive energy, the facilities are comfortable, and the atmosphere is calm and respectful. The work at the café is easy to learn, dynamic, and allows you to practice English. You can also join the project classes, which really enrich the experience. I'm especially grateful to Lorraine, Jemma, and Diego for their support and patience. I had a lot of fun and met wonderful people. I recommend it 100%!
