Volunteer

Volunteers are valued members of our team who bring their unique experiences, skills and energy. They range in age from 18 to 80 years.

Volunteering at VACRO offers a range of benefits. Volunteers give back to their communities, meet new people, gain valuable knowledge and experience, and work as part of a team at a highly regarded not-for-profit. Our volunteers contribute significantly and get back as much as they put in.

We value the insight and expertise of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system. Learn more about volunteering at VACRO with a criminal record, and how lived experience of the criminal justice system can strengthen VACRO's work. 

If you’re interested in volunteering with VACRO, please complete the volunteer application form below.
