WSD Volunteer Update:

• Increased recruitment through the media, staff presentations to civic/social organizations and individual contact has led to a significant increase in the number of volunteers.

• Victim Impact Panels are offered in most regions in coordination with Victim Services. Also, some community members volunteer to discuss their feelings about being victimized.

•  Job fairs are held throughout the state with help from volunteers in business, education and state agencies.

•  Parenting classes, such as those at the Neal Unit and Plane State Jail, are conducted by volunteers, such as Parents Anonymous.

•  Volunteer literacy and language tutors work with students throughout the state. Approximately 75 percent of WSD-approved volunteers conduct tutoring.

•  Special Programs have been presented by volunteers, such as a credit union speaker discussing personal finances and a judge describing the legal rights of ex-offenders.
