This is an eight week program in which you volunteer one a week after participation in a weekend of training. Volunteers assist the residents of the halfway house during this important transition period by offering them companionship. Students help to prepare dinner and then remain for the meal and socializing. Inmates read short stories with moral, philosophical, or sociological lessons, answer questions on the readings, and discuss the material with the volunteer. The goal is for the inmates to gain a better understanding and vision of both their values and those of society.
