We’re excited to share that Adopt an Inmate has a new home for our (local) monthly volunteer sessions.

Thanks to the generosity of our friends at the Eugene Friends Church, we’ll be gathering once each month in their conference room to process mail, work on projects, organize materials, and tackle the many behind-the-scenes tasks that keep the organization running.

Whether you’ve volunteered with us before or are simply curious about what we do, these sessions are a great way to get involved.

Many people are surprised to learn that Adopt an Inmate is powered entirely by volunteers. From matching participants and answering emails to processing mail and preparing educational materials, everything we do depends on people who are willing to donate a few hours of their time.

You don’t need special experience to help. We’ll provide guidance, explain the work, and find tasks that match your interests and comfort level.

Check the Calendar

We’ve also launched a public Adopt an Inmate calendar where you can view upcoming volunteer sessions, office hours, meetings, and special events. Events with the 🐝 are open to volunteers, click the “Reserve Your Spot” button on the calendar page to sign up.

*New volunteers, please complete our volunteer registration form (one time only) prior to signing up for events.

Whether you can help once, occasionally, or on a regular basis, we’d love to meet you.

Together, we’re building meaningful connections between people inside and outside prison walls – one letter at a time.
