Join our small local team and help us make a difference.
We share simple principles of practical philosophy that can help prisoners change their lives for the better. No experience needed, just a mature, open-minded, calm and steady approach. If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
We need a few people with a few hours to spare to assist our tutors in prison. It's safe, meaningful, fun and easy to handle work.
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.
