New Volunteers: Orientation this Sunday, September 28

If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now’s the time. Join us for our next orientation session, led by one of our experienced volunteers. It takes place the last Sunday of each month, 1–2pm, right before our regular 2–5pm work session. Get the details here.
If you can’t make it this week, plan now to join us for the October 26 orientation. Not available on Sundays? There are lots of other ways to get involved and help get books in the hands of women in prison. We hope to see you soon!
