Roman Catholic AnswerThat depends on the community. Monasteries, for the most part, contain monks who have taken a vow of stability. Benedictines, Cistercians, Camaldolese, Carthusians all remain in their monastery. Some congregations of Benedictines teach schools: high schools, preparatory schools, colleges; others celebrate the entire Office as it was before Vatican II - all eight Offices each day, and 150 psalms each week. The Carthusians are an order of hermits, they have no outside work at all, growing their own food, and meeting all their own needs. Mostly completely cloistered communities run a farm and sell produce, I know of one community that sells coffins.

Do those who are not monks have any role in Buddhism?

Yes, those who are not ordained monks or nuns have always had an important role in the community of Buddhists. As Buddhism spread from what is today India to other eastern countries and, in the 20th century, to the west, it adapted itself to different cultures. Today in the west, most Buddhists are not celibate monks or nuns. Communities of monks and nuns are usually supported by many practitioners outside those communities. Most people today who engage in Buddhist practices designed to minimize suffering are neither monks nor nuns. .
