About Us

The mission of One Earth Sangha is to support humanity in a transformative response to ecological crises based on the insights and practices of the Buddhist tradition. Through our Virtual EcoDharma Center, we are here to inspire, inform, and guide our members in actions that will end ecological violence. We assert that engagement is, on the one hand, essential to the spiritual path and, on the other hand, more effective and sustainable when grounded in transformative insight and authentic compassion.

About You

You have tech chops and want to use your skills for meaningful work. Specifically, you are excited about responding to climate and other ecological and social crises through a Dharma lens. You might have coding skills but, more importantly, a natural learner of technology with a strong mind for logic and building user-friendly, reliable solutions. You’re opinionated about technology without being snobbish. You might even have a strange affection for spreadsheet formulas. You love working on teams and are willing to help fill in the gaps in our operational and front-facing solutions.

We are looking for someone who is not necessarily a coder but with an affinity for technology and data management along with the desire to use your skills for meaningful work.
