Volunteer
We welcome individuals of all backgrounds and abilities. Because of the nature of our services delivered at some premises such as penal institutions, Magistrates' Courts etc. and our serving clienteles, we have the following requirements for being our volunteers.
Service Introduction
Welcome to follow us on Facebook for the latest updates on volunteer activities!
Service Objectives
General public can help to promote inclusivity by joining our volunteer services and community programmes, while service users can also contribute to the society by volunteering or being a peer in a transformed identity, gaining self-confidence and let the public understand the challenges facing by different disadvantaged groups.
Volunteer Training
We serve a more specialised group, mainly including incarcerated individuals, ex-offenders, and persons in recovery. Before volunteers formally engage in our services, we will arrange a basic volunteer training course to equip community members with the basic skills and precautions for communicating with service users.

Volunteer Services
Services for Incarcerated Individuals
Community volunteers go to correctional facilities to provide various volunteer services, including group activities, academic support, and educational programs. The aim of these services is to enhance the community's understanding of incarcerated individuals and correctional institutions, thereby promoting community inclusion. Additionally, the community volunteers' efforts help foster connections between incarcerated individuals and community members, including a "Pen Friend Scheme" for correspondence after the service.
Inclusive Service
Ex-offender Services
Volunteers will provide a variety of services at our organisation's different service units, including hostel soup groups, program tutors, and case support services. The aim of these services is to increase the community's understanding of ex-offender, thus promoting the goal of community inclusion. At the same time, the involvement of volunteers can bring about change for service users, helping them expand their community resources and personal skills, and even establishing their identity as helpers providing services to the community.
Volunteer gatherings
Besides voluntary work in services, we regularly hold volunteer workshops and gatherings to enhance volunteers' interests and sense of belonging.
