Volunteer Services

The Georgia Department of Corrections is committed to providing resources to our offender population in an effort to prepare them for the transition from custody to the community. Volunteer Services incorporates: Faith-Based organization, community stakeholders, concerned citizens, civic organizations and business partnerships that support services presently offered and others not provided by traditional Agency programming. Volunteer Services raises the conscious awareness of the community by involving their talents, resources, and their inherent connection to the offender and community. Involvement sends the message to the offender that the community has a vested interest in their success.

Mission of Volunteer Services

  • To help reduce recidivism by involving community stakeholders.
  • Our task is to mobilize (identify, recruit, train and monitor) resource persons and groups from the community in order to provide services and mentoring for the habilitation or rehabilitation of offenders.
  • To participate in correctional programs which support the offender's successful transition from custody to community.
