The CARE Program is looking for responsible, motivated individuals to volunteer as mentors (Career Coaches) to CARE Program clients. Studies have shown that ex-offenders who participate in an organized mentoring program reoffend at a significantly lower rate, feel more a part of the community and have a more positive outlook. To be a mentor, a volunteer must (1) adhere to the policies and regulations of the CARE Program, Winona County Detention Center and Minnesota Department of Corrections; (2) agree to a six month commitment to the CARE Program; and (3) attend orientation and training where other responsibilities will be detailed.
