Employment Specialist
The Minneapolis Adult Rehabilitation Center wants to provide supportive employment services to individuals who are unemployed or underemployed working to achieve self-sufficiency. As a volunteer you will assist clients in writing resumes, practicing job interviews, discuss appropriate attire for interviews and work, show job search tools and find employment opportunities. We believe that this opportunity for growth will help move the men in a positive direction for change.
Dates: Year round, can be Sunday - Saturday
Times: Approximately 2 - 3 hours between 5 - 8 p.m.
Location: Minneapolis Adult Rehabilitation Center
Barnabas Pen Pal
The Salvation Army Barnabas Pen Pal program seeks to link Christian volunteers with inmates for the purpose of making contact through the written word. The relationship is meant to provide the inmate with spiritual guidance and personal encouragement. Inmates are often very lonely as most families have given up on them and they need to know that someone cares. Pen pals use aliases and all letters are routed through The Salvation Army to ensure volunteer safety.
Dates: Ongoing, year round
Time: At least one letter a month
Location: Flexible
