Thank you for your interest in serving as a volunteer with the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. Volunteers can make a significant difference in the lives of people in custody.

As a voice for positive change, you can support correctional residents in their rehabilitation efforts. And if they’re eligible for release eventually, you can inspire them to prepare for successful reentry.

Volunteers assist NCDAC staff with a variety of services inside and outside our facilities. Most volunteers assist with programs. These can be religious, educational, vocational or even behavioral. In general, what we ask our volunteers to do is to act as a positive role model and a voice of encouragement. Much of that will occur as you support existing rehabilitative programs, corporate worship or faith-based activities, or other facility needs.  

We welcome you to contact the facility where you are interested in volunteering. You can also contact NCDAC’s Chaplaincy, Prison Programs or Rehabilitation and Reentry offices with any questions about specific volunteer opportunities.
