ATTENDANCE POLICIES
Attendance Required
As a volunteer, in-person attendance is required for the entire prison project which starts on Friday night at the “One Accord” meeting and ends on Sunday evening with the completion of the workshop. By submitting your application, it means you can commit to being present for the entire project (from the Friday night meeting to the end of the workshop Sunday).
CANCELLATIONS & NO-SHOW’S
Life happens and there are situations beyond our control. We understand and take these circumstances into consideration. With that in mind, if you have a history of dropping, you may be impacting your future chances of being selected as part of the volunteer team for the prison workshops.
COVID Guidelines
- Currently California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (CDCR) does not require masks.
- You have the option to wear masks for your own health and well-being.
- Flexibility. We are working closely with the prison to prepare for these events understanding that if COVID numbers surge, for the safety of our participants and volunteers, we will need to reschedule. Please know that the event may be cancelled on short notice.
Food & Lodging Expenses
As a 501-c3 we rely on the generosity and goodwill of our volunteers to run these programs! As part of that, volunteers pay for their own hotel rooms (at a discounted rate) and a food expense of $25 (which covers modest lunches/snacks in the prison on both days). We also suggest that volunteers leave a tip for hotel staff (they’re truly amazing!).
