Volunteer opportunities are available in the fall, winter, spring, and summer semesters. Because this is an unpaid volunteer opportunity, Witness to Mass Incarceration is happy to provide recommendations or references for all volunteers. In terms of volunteer credit, some educational institutions require prior approval before the start of a volunteer opportunity. It is the responsibility of the student to check with their institution to be sure they meet any requirements before they accept a position.

Witness to Mass Incarceration (WITNESS)’s work is guided by the belief that the pathway to freedom, safety, and success in reducing recidivism for formerly incarcerated people (FIP) is to create social enterprise solutions and foster a movement for economic empowerment that will build generational wealth for FIP. We are committed to long‑term, permanent, and transformational solutions to improve the quality of life for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.
