How to volunteer
One has to get TDCJ Volunteer Approval by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and attend a mandatory orientation where one will be taught the rules of the facility and receive a physical copy of the TDCJ Volunteer Handbook.
Volunteering at a jail is a process.
STEP 1: Fill out TDCJ Volunteer Application form. It can also be found on the TDCJ website. (In PROGRAM OF INTEREST section, check box for Chaplaincy; at bottom right, check OTHER and enter IWA.)
STEP 2: Attend a TDCJ Volunteer Training (most are on Saturdays throughout the year). Print out your completed Volunteer Application form and sign. Bring with you to the TDCJ training and submit it there.
STEP 3: Your application will take several weeks to be processed, including a background check. Once completed, you will be an approved TDCJ volunteer for 2 years.
STEP 4: After becoming an approved TDCJ volunteer, you must attend a 30 minute specific IWA Training.
