Assistants to Help Tutors in Prison

Join our small, local team and help us to change lives, reduce re-offending and make a real difference.

We need a few people who can spare a few hours a week, over a couple of months, to assist our tutors in prison. It's safe, meaningful, fun and easy to handle work. 

Working in groups, we share simple principles of practical philosophy that can help prisoners change their lives for the better. Volunteers need no experience, just an open-minded, calm and steady approach.  You can meet up with our other volunteers to help you understand just what's involved and have the opportunity to ask questions.

You will first require Justice approval and then a brief security training by Corrections.

A few hours of your time for a few weeks, can make a significant, positive impact to those in the Hawkes Bay Prison and their wider whanau.

• Where possible, if assistants can be available for several courses throughout the year this gives us and our students greater consistency.
• Our intention is to have 4/5 courses a year. Each course runs for 6-7 weeks, with 75-minute sessions.
• The minimum hours are usually 2-3 hours once a week.

The Assistant role is vital to the success to the Freedom Philosophy programme.  If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
