Volunteer mentors who are trained and supported connect with individuals who are incarcerated in Minnesota prisons. Volunteers can be anyone with a few hours a month and a desire to talk, listen, and offer non-judgmental feedback through visits, messages, phone calls, and mail. Most volunteers have no backgrounds in criminal justice or mentoring. Volunteers will need to be approved for visiting by the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
