Volunteer:

Our office is always looking for dedicated individuals who are willing to donate their time and become active participants in making Rutland County a safer place! All volunteers are required to pass a background check and may be asked to undergo training. Opportunities are available in the following capacities:

  • Restorative Panel Volunteer: This is an opportunity for you to serve as a community representation on restorative panels. During these panels, you will represent community interest in crime prevention and highlight the harm crime causes our community. Panels consist of devoted volunteers, the participant, and the program Coordinator (who will facilitate the panel and guide discussion). The goal of these panels is to allow the participant to take responsibility for his/her actions and outline tasks necessary to repair the harm done and prevent re-offense.
  •  Administrative Support: Volunteers can also work more behind-the-scenes as administrative support. The responsibilities of this position may vary greatly from week-to-week depending on the needs of the agency. The position will primarily consist of multifaceted general office support, such as managing reception.
  • Seeking Board Members as of Fall 2024: We are looking for Equity minded, self-starters who have a passion for helping people. Previous board experience is great, but not necessary. Some skills we are looking for are: Accounting/Financial, Program Evaluation, Event Planning, etc.
