Volunteer with us

Our volunteers play an important role in supporting children and families impacted by incarceration. Whether you’d like to befriend a child or caregiver, share your creative skills, or contribute in other ways, there are different ways to get involved. Find a role that suits you:

Child Befriender

Build a consistent one-to-one friendship with a child aged 3–12 through weekly home visits. Befrienders spend time reading, playing, and doing creative activities together.

Commitment: 1 hour a week for at least 6 months

Age: 18 years and above

Adult Befriender

Walk alongside pregnant and postpartum mothers in prison by offering a listening ear, encouragement and consistent social support as they navigate the challenges of caring for their families.

Use your creativity to support our storytelling work, including projects that help strengthen the connection between incarcerated parents and their children.
