REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS FULL
RISE's In-Prison Program Coaching Days are typically held at the three-month mark of curriculum completion. RISE staff and community volunteers spend a full day inside the prison facility with program participants going over resumes, cover letters, personal statements, and business ideations. We provide lunch, lead empathy-building exercises, and facilitate speed rounds of volunteer feedback.
Requirements:

Before you volunteer:
Reliability is everything. While we understand the unpredictability of lives and schedules, the cancellation of volunteers prior to an event can throw a large wrench in the agenda for our events. Our ideal scenario provides 2-3 community volunteers for each program participant.
Additionally, keep in mind that when entering any NDCS facility as a volunteer you will be required to keep your personal belongings (cell phone, car keys, wallet, etc.) in a safe locker until you are exiting for the day. It is also required that all volunteers remain in the provided space for the duration of the event.
