Mission Statement
Our mission is to reduce recidivism and prepare adults in custody to successfully reenter their communities by providing programs that teach critical skills. We believe society is a better place when we offer each other a helping hand. As mentors and teachers, our volunteers play an essential part in making a positive difference in the lives of adult s in custody by sharing their time, skills, and passions in these programs. Together, we create better futures for those in our care and, ultimately, build safer and stronger communities.
Description
At the Federal Bureau of Prisons, we provide adults in custody with programs that provide skills and resources so they can return home to our communities better equipped for success. Our volunteers collaborate with highly trained, passionate staff in a safe environment to share their knowledge and skills with adults in custody. Through evidence-based programs, volunteers help guide incarcerated individuals as they work toward a certification, credential, or degree in their desired skill area. We offer wide variety of courses in areas such as education, health and wellness, relationships and personal development, faith, and so much more. Interested volunteers can learn more about FBOP volunteer programs, explore available volunteer opportunities, and apply on The Inside Influence.
In order to volunteer at a FBOP facility, you must meet the following requirements:
- Be 18 years of age (or over 21 years of age for high security or administrative institutions).
- Be a US Citizen with a valid Social Security Number.
