Mentor Initial Training and Orientation (ITO)

Mentor training is required for all current and potential mentors on an annual basis - even if you are a current volunteer volunteering in facilities.

Dates and locations of additional mentor training around the state will be added when needed so please check back.

Remember, even if you have already completed the IDOC Volunteer training, you will still be required to take the mentor training. You can email mentoring@idoc.idaho.gov if you have specific questions.
