Volunteer Information

The Community Involvement Department (CID) of Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility (PNJCF) is designed to meet the needs of the students who have committed crimes that have placed them in a correctional setting. Each facility assesses the needs of their students. Based upon the current needs of the students, CID designs and establishes programs to help meet those needs. In addition to designing programs, CID recruits and trains volunteers to assist in these programs.

Volunteer work aids in the overall work of PNJCF, helping the student have a successful re-entry back into their perspective communities.

Our volunteer services program at PNJCF seeks to provide meaningful opportunities for talented and dedicated individuals to utilize their skills and abilities. This can be both challenging and rewarding.

Volunteers provide to our student population:

1. An essential link to the outside community
2. Wholesome community contact
3. Opportunities for enhancement of skills, knowledge, or faith
