Chaplaincy

Our full time and volunteer chaplains provide support to people in hospitals and in prisons.

We are a member of the Civil Chaplaincies Advisory Committee (CCAC), an interfaith group which funds our chaplaincy programs and endorses chaplains to work with the Departments of Corrective Services, Health, and Juvenile Justice.

Our chaplains are compassionate community members who follow Buddhist teachings and have been trained in principles and practices of chaplaincy.

For further information on the chaplaincy program or becoming a chaplain email chaplaincy@buddhistcouncil.org
