Volunteer Program

Joining the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry (ADCRR) Volunteer Program offers a unique and impactful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others while enriching your own. We rely on passionate volunteers to enhance our programs and services for incarcerated individuals, helping them on their journey toward rehabilitation and growth.


As an approved volunteer, you can contribute to a wide range of initiatives, including educational programs, faith-based and non-faith-based services, 12-step/self-help programs, yoga, and mindfulness/meditation sessions. Your involvement can have a profound impact, providing vital support and encouragement to those who need it most.


At ADCRR, we truly value our volunteers as essential members of our community. We are committed to creating a welcoming environment where you feel respected, appreciated, and recognized for your meaningful contributions. Our volunteer program is designed to provide you with a fulfilling and enriching experience, aligning with ADCRR's dedication to fostering personal growth and transformation.
 

By volunteering, you will play a crucial role in bringing hope and support to individuals who are incarcerated. If you’re ready to share your skills and expand your own horizons, we warmly invite you to join us in this rewarding journey. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
