Monthly Causes

The monthly themes are standardized to unite the individual krews as one karmically connected community.

• January: Supporting the Troops
  While our country stands divided on the conflicts overseas, we share one unified voice in our support of our troops who day in and day out put their lives on the line.
• February: Serving the Family Unit
  Greater than any other influence in our lives, it is our family structure that gives us our roots and our wings.
• March: Giving Back to the Caregivers
  While we often view service through the lens of helping those in need, this project seeks to serve those who serve others.
• April: Supporting Gaia, Mother Earth (Environmental Outreach)
  Learn how to not just live on the Earth, but live with the Earth. Local krews can engage in a variety of environmentally-based projects that serve to support an awakened connection to our planet.
• May: Supporting Karma Krew!
  This month all the krews around the country come together to sustain and expand the efforts of Karma Krew through a month long national yogathon fundraising event.  Yoga students enlist "sponsors" to pledge as little as $1 for each yoga class they attend during the month.  They support a great cause and have fun while doing it!
• June: Honoring the Grieving Process
  The loss of a loved one is perhaps the most difficult time in one's life. Taking time to allow for grieving is an essential part of our journey. Project participants may gather in a variety of project settings to help those grieving through specially designed outreach programs or simple offerings to help ease their pain.
• July: Serving our Seniors
  As we age, we often become deprived of interaction with others and have trouble accomplishing even the most mundane tasks. Rather than casting our elderly aside, this month we seek to honor those who have come before us and paved the pathway for the many blessing we enjoy today.
• August: Strengthening our Schools
  One of the most pressing social concerns today is the state of our school systems. This month, various local projects are aimed at enhancing the quality of schools for the new academic year.
• September: Our Furry Friends
  There is an ancient yogic mantra that says "May all beings everywhere be happy and free." Often, this is mistakenly interpreted to apply only to the human family. Through these projects we work to protect wildlife, bring awareness to animal abuse, and enhance the living conditions of sheltered animals.
• October: Raising Awareness of Women's Issues
  All too often, violence and prejudice against women goes unseen and unheard. This month we seek to uplift and empower women who have been victims of violence in its many forms.
• November: Abused and Neglected Children
  Perhaps there is no issue more disconcerting than that of child abuse. This month Karma Krews around the country work to uplift, empower, and inspire children who have faced unjust traumas and abuse in their young lives.
• December: The Plight of Poverty
  Homelessness and poverty have risen to epidemic levels in our country. Within each big city and small town there exists a population of people who are struggling with basic survival issues every day.
