Volunteers
Are you interested in helping offenders become law-abiding citizens? Would you like to make a difference and support families of incarcerated offenders?
If you have answered yes and have the time, energy and passion to volunteer, there are many opportunities and programs where you can make a difference in the lives of offenders. Some of these programs include:
- chaplaincy
- recreation activities
- classroom and workshop instruction, and
- cultural activities
There is also an opportunity to directly impact your community. This can be done by supporting families of offenders or helping released offenders re-adjust to life.
We invite you to join to the thousands of volunteers who are making a difference and contributing to the safety of communities across Canada.
