Do you have an interest in making our community safer? Do you have a genuine willingness to help others? If you answered yes, then we'd like to invite you to apply to participate in our mission: People helping people transition from incarceration into the community. Volunteers needed to be in weekly support group meetings for ex-offenders recently released from incarceration. Opportunities include providing support at weekly Circles of Support meetings, conducting intakes with new participants, meeting 1:1 with participants, and transporting participants. Be a part of the solution. All interested volunteers over age 23 are encouraged to inquire. Contact Anne Strauch at astrauch@goodwillncw.org.
