Use Your Time and Talents to Make a Lasting Difference

Thank you for your interest in serving with Chicagoland Prison Outreach.

We are currently updating and enhancing our volunteer engagement process to better match individuals, churches, businesses, and community partners with meaningful opportunities to serve. During this time, volunteer applications and inquiries have been temporarily paused as we work to create a more effective and rewarding volunteer experience.

We anticipate reopening volunteer registration within the next 30 days and look forward to connecting with you soon.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and heart for this important ministry.
