Dive straight into changing someone's life by sending them some books. Reading can have a direct positive impact on opening peoples' eyes to new possibilities and has proven connection to decreased recidivism. Incarcerated people often have very limited access to reading materials. After a short orientation, volunteers will answer requests from individual prisoners for packages of books. Packages are composed from our book room. Volunteers may also wrap packages. You must be comfortable asking questions, and attention to detail is really important: books are frequently rejected from prisons for the silliest of reasons.
