Organizations

Be an active participant in our sponsored/affiliated organizations and classes

The Placer Buddhist Church offers many ways to engage in a variety of activities.  Our sponsored organizations support our Sangha in ways that tie our community together.  Our affiliated organizations are part of the community but not directly associated to the religious aspects of our temple.  We support our affiliated organizations by offering a place to meet and to extend programs to our Sangha members interested in other activities.
