IN-PRISON PROGRAM DEEP DIVE
RISE's In-Prison Program participants are preparing for graduation and their business pitch at this point. Deep Dives are the final opportunity for participants to receive feedback from volunteers and to polish up their upcoming business pitches. This event is typically about 3 hours long and held in the late afternoon/evening inside the prison facility.

Before you volunteer:
Reliability is everything. While we understand the unpredictability of lives and schedules, the cancellation of volunteers prior to an event can throw a large wrench in the agenda for our events. Our ideal scenario provides 2-3 community volunteers for each program participant.
Additionally, keep in mind that when entering any NDCS facility as a volunteer you will be required to keep your personal belongings (cell phone, car keys, wallet, etc.) in a safe locker until you are exiting for the day. It is also required that all volunteers remain in the provided space for the duration of the event.
