ORGANIZATION: Indiana Department of Correction

  • 1 person is interested

Alcohol and drugs can have a devastating effect on a community. This is especially true for a correctional environment. In addition to the treatment options available to individuals incarcerated, volunteers are also essential. They provide much needed support from the community to battle addiction.

The Putnamville Correctional Facility is currently seeking volunteers to facilitate a AA/NA group. The schedule is flexible but typically volunteer programming occurs in the evening and weekends.
