I am a criminal justice student living in DeLand, FL who is looking for ways to volunteer helping inmates reentering society. I would like to start out volunteering and maybe someday move into a career in this field, either in probation or parole work. I will be receiving my bachelors in criminal justice in spring or summer of 2013, so I will be more qualified then to technically hold a job in that field, but I feel that volunteering or getting involved in my community in that aspect somehow would be really beneficial. I just don't know where to start because I haven't done a lot of volunteering in my life. I have been searching all over the internet and stumbled on this website, so I figure any kind of message I can get out there might help. If you know any way of getting started volunteering in this way, please contact me with agency names and phone numbers that I can call to get started. I work part time, go to school part time, and I know I have a lot to offer in the rest of my spare time. Thank you so much in advance for any direction you can give me on this!!
