Volunteer Trainings
While waiting for the prison to process our applications, we had some work to do in mentally and spiritually preparing for ministry within the prison walls. Here are some trainings I wanted to make sure my team went through in order for us to do so.
- How to be a GED Tutor
- Styles and approaches to teaching
- Lessons learned from others with experience in GED tutoring
- Prayer Meetings
- How to Work With Inmates
- How to lead inmates towards change
- Prepare us for the manipulation tricks some inmates can play.
- Responding to Emergency Situations Within the Prison
- In the unlikely occurrence that a fight breaks out in our class or a riot starts, how do we respond?
- How to diffuse hostility and respond if it can't be diffused
- SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) of our team
- Volunteer Orientation Within the Prison
- Drug testing and finger prints
- Expectations of volunteers
