THE IMPORTANCE OF VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers play a significant role in the Non-profit setting.  Because of their firsthand experience and/or devoted interest in their field, volunteers are able to gain the attention and respect of our clients in a unique way.

The transition process seeks to produce inmates who are law-abiding citizens with the strengths and skills to successfully manage the problems they will face daily.   Volunteers are the role models for this journey and are an invaluable addition to the rehabilitative opportunities that the Boston Project Rebound Re-entry Services, Inc. offers.
