WE NEED YOU!

As a CVP volunteer, you can read stories and do crafts with kids, maintain play areas, and support families experiencing incarceration. 

Membership is $10 per year.

As a volunteer you know that our main goal is to support families during their visiting times at some of our Federal Institutions. Research shows that family support is crucial to the reintegration of inmates on their release so that a positive visiting experience is one of the important factors in this support.

Our volunteers go out once a month (it would be more often if we had more volunteers or our volunteers had more time to offer) on a week-end to read stories to the visiting children, and to supervise a craft session or play in the children's area. This gives parents of younger children an opportunity for some private conversation and also gives children something of interest to do during the 2 to 3 hour visiting period.

Volunteers need to be over 18 years of age, and have had some experience working with children. They also have to become members of CVP ($10.00 per year), pass a Corrections Security check, and have two orientation visits with an experienced CVP volunteer.
