The DePauw students meet Indiana State Farm inmates on a weekly basis. Our goal is to provide community outreach visitation that provides spiritual and social edification of inmates who have often been rejected or ignored by their own families, friends and communities. The weekly visit by 30 plus DePauw students enhances the inmates' personal self worth. As a result, this program proves to be a positive step in rehabilitation. Humane Society DePauw students share their time with the local Humane Society by caring for the animals, which occupy the shelter.
Visits are once each week.
A volunteer needs to have a love of pets and a willingness to promote the programs of the shelter regarding responsible pet ownership. This is a program for student friends in psychology, education, or sociology who want experience working with the emotionally handicapped or behaviorally disordered children and adolescents in area public schools. Excellent field experience. This program was new to the DCS program in 1997. Student Friend Children need support, understanding, acceptance and approval in order to thrive.
