Volunteer Training Schedule

Please check with the facility Volunteer Service Coordinator (VSC) regarding the status of volunteers for that particular facility.

Requirements

  • New volunteers are required to complete the IDOC Volunteer Training prior to volunteering. However, if you choose, you may attend a training before your application is submitted and approved for expediency. 
  • Those who wish to continue volunteering are required to complete the IDOC Volunteer Training each calendar year. This will satisfy the required "refresher" training and PREA orientation.
  • New Volunteers: Once you complete the IDOC Volunteer Training, contact the facility VSC to find out when your facility orientation is scheduled.

Volunteer Training Dates (subject to change)

You may attend any session in any location that is most convenient for you and we ask that you enroll in each session here. Some of the Boise area training sessions may be limited to 50 attendees each due to space availability. If you are attempting to enroll in one of the Boise area trainings and it will not let you, then that session is full and you will need to enroll in another session. Again, the link to enroll in any training session is here
