We welcome your interest in serving at our Chapel. Our group is completely self-supporting and operated entirely by volunteers. All offerings of time and enthusiasm are most welcome. Volunteer members are asked to serve at least once a month, but are welcome to serve more often. If you wish to inquire about opportunities to serve at the Chapel, please contact any of the ushers or other service members after the Sunday service (those members are usually wearing a name badge), complete a volunteer form in the foyer, or fill out the Volunteer Application Form below.
Serving at the Chapel is a great way to meet other members and help further Paramahansa Yogananda’s work.
