Volunteer with Change for Good
Do you want to provide prison leavers with the opportunity to transform their lives, reduce reoffending and reintegrate into the community? Then volunteer with us!
We are seeking volunteer mentors to build meaningful one-on-one relationships with a prison leaver in their return to the community. Volunteers provide crucial signposting, practical assistance and ongoing support in key areas of rehabilitation, tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Whether it's guidance on housing, education, employment or addiction, your support can profoundly impact your mentee's community resettlement.
Over a six-month period, mentors play a vital role in empowering mentees, helping them cultivate self-confidence, resilience and a new sense of purpose. We ask our volunteers to commit to meeting with their mentee at least once every two weeks and to volunteer with Change for Good for at least one year.
Throughout your journey with us, you'll receive regular training, supervision and support from our Volunteer Coordinator. You'll also have opportunities to participate in volunteer peer support workshops and community social events.
We welcome individuals, aged at least 24, with empathy and heart for people with experience of the criminal justice system and strong personal boundaries to apply. We actively encourage applications from Black, Asian or minoritised individuals and those who have lived experience of the criminal justice system.
“Mentoring has been a great journey for me. Since I started in 2017, I have had the privilege to get paired with seven mentees. Each of them made me discover a new dimension to life, its challenges, sometimes the immense suffering it can bring but also the incredible resilience and hope which emerge from it. I can assure you that Change for Good changed my life. I think about each of my mentees regularly. I feel blessed that they have been placed in my path.” – Volunteer mentor
