Volunteer with Inside Out Reentry Community

Mentors Needed!

Inside Out Reentry Community is currently seeking volunteer mentors (especially male mentors age 40+) to provide social, emotional, and practical support to a returning citizen.
Mentors can be paired with:

Someone currently incarcerated, and mentorship occurs through correspondence until release. OR
Someone recently released and mentorship occurs through in person meetings, and regular check-ins by phone.

Mentors form a meaningful friendship and help a returning citizen overcome barriers, increase their confidence, and reach their goals. We ask that mentors commit to at least one year of mentorship.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or learning more about the role, email [email protected] or call 319.338.7996
