Nighttime Cabin Assistant: Help Provide Opportunities to Children with a Parent in Prison
ORGANIZATION: New Hope
Please visit the new page to apply.
Did you know that a child with a parent in prison is significantly more likely than their peers to be incarcerated themselves later on in life (one study found up to 5 times more likely)? Did you know Oklahoma incarcerates women at a higher rate than anywhere else in the world? New Hope Oklahoma works with youth 5-18 who have/have had an incarcerated parent, with the mission to end generational incarceration. We provide after school programs, holiday parties, case management, summer camps, and overnight retreats, among other services.
Our counselors give our kids so much energy during the day, and need breaks occasionally during the night to take care of their own needs. Please help our counselors out by volunteering to serve as a second adult in the cabins. Must be at least 18 years old. Time commitment is 8pm-11pm one or more days between June 10th-13th and/or June 17th-20th.

Description
At New Hope, lives are renewed everyday. When a child's parent goes to prison, life as they know it ends. Through our life affirming programs, children are lifted from isolation and fear, into possibility and hope. This is achieved by a circle of adults who care, a safe place with others who understand, a chance to imagine a life of possibilities and new futures born though hope, everyday.
