Restore Justice Volunteer Program: Bridging the Gap

Join our new volunteer program, Bridging the Gap.

Informal mentoring, coaching on basic skills, and fellowship

We are launching a new program to match people who want to help (like you!) with people who are about to be released from prison following extreme sentences. Our goal is to create a space where positive relationships can thrive; these relationships will provide informal support for people returning to their communities.

Volunteers will be connected with a person who is incarcerated or someone who has recently been released. As a volunteer, you may be asked to answer questions or share experience around basic things like technology. You may be asked to accompany someone to the Secretary of State to get their ID or to review their resume for a first job interview. This casual mentoring relationship is up to the volunteer and their mentee to define.

We will provide some basic training for all volunteers, and our first volunteers will play a role in helping us form and grow the program. Join today!
