Are you interested in a career in social work?
New Leaf - New Life is seeking volunteers to assist with a community transition program for inmates at the Monroe County Corrections Center. This program is intended to help soon-to-be-released inmates prepare for their transition back into the community. Upon release, inmates often lack basic resources such as appropriate clothing, housing, and medical services and may need assistance seeking employment and education. We are currently looking for volunteers to work with transition counselors outside the jail by researching and coordinating resources for individual inmates in the program.
This is a excellent opportunity to gain experience with social work and to make a considerable impact in the lives of people in need. New Leaf - New Life is a Bloomington-based organization, dedicated to transformational change in our criminal justice system through volunteer action. Additional information about New Leaf - New Life is available at the following url: http://www.newleaf-newlife.org/
Please contact John Putz (John.Putz@centerstone.org) or Sarah Forster (sarforst@indiana.edu) if you are interested in this exciting volunteer opportunity!
