Volunteer Programs
We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our volunteers who serve our inmates and returning citizens. Our volunteers are an invaluable resource to our department as they provide programming that focuses on changing criminal behavior and mindsets which are extremely beneficial to their rehabilitation process.

Volunteer Training Annual Application
Volunteer training is required for NEW volunteers and every third year thereafter. Volunteer applications with background check requests must be submitted annually. Failure to complete the entire application or to disclose any criminal history or relationship to inmates will result in the denial of your application.
Thank you again for your commitment to provide services to the men and women in NMCD facilities
