Dr. Barley serves as Vice President of Citta, which is a registered charity dedicated to providing assistance to marginalized or indigenous communities and assisting those in extreme economic, environmental, or political distress. Citta, whose name is derived from the Sanskrit word for compassionate mind, is an organization that is aware that people of different paths share the same world.

Citta has built and maintains hospitals and schools in India, Nepal and Mexico in rural areas with limited social infrastructure. By helping these communities, Citta seeks to build and sustain institutions essential for their survival. The goal is to help create systems that will be maintained by the communities themselves, and to encourage economic development, while preserving traditional ways of life into the future.
