Describe volunteer service: Story Link Volunteers record residents reading books to their children/grandchildren.  We mail these books to the children with a QR Code label in the book so the children can listen to their parents recordings.

 

Facility Preference: Please review the list of where we serve and select only one.  Once you have been approved

at one facility, you will be able to work with Judy Halverson to get approved at other locations.

 

Send a note to Judy: Please send an email to judybhalverson@gmail.com telling her what facility you chose on the IDOC New Volunteer Application.  Judy will submit your name to the facilities Volunteer Services Coordinator (VSC) to obtain approval for you to join the Story Link team's visit.  PLEASE NOTE: This process typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks.

• Attend an Idaho Department of Corrections (IDOC) Volunteer Training (annually)

You cannot go into a prison as a volunteer until you complete the IDOC Volunteer Training. This training is required every year for volunteers.  See the link above for further details and to sign up.
