Volunteers are an integral part of the IDOC mission of keeping the public safe and providing opportunties for offenders to change. Volunteers work within the prisons to provide religious classes, specialized training, and unique teaching opportunities.
Free2Succeed mentors come from all walks of life, all ages, and a from a variety of economic, social, and educational backgrounds. Mentors will help provide a "bridge" for offenders who are returning to Idaho's communities from incarceration. The goal of Free2Succeed is to provide offenders who are willing to participate in the program with a mentor who will work with them side-by-side to ensure a smooth and successful transition and help reduce the chance of recidivism.
For the near future, Volunteer training and Mentor Initial Training and Orientation will be conducted remotely via Zoom. There will be links to register for each session in the training schedules.
