Monthly Volunteer Network Dialogues
Event Details:
Held on Zoom on the fourth Thursday of each month. *Registration is required to send out the article in advance to participants.
October’s Monthly Dialogue: Thursday, October 22nd
Time: 7:00–8:30 PM
An engaging and reflective space designed to deepen your understanding and strengthen your impact as a volunteer. This ongoing series explores critical topics such as social and criminal justice, health and healing, trauma-informed leadership, and best practices for working with vulnerable populations in prison settings.
October’s Continuous Education Dialogue topic is: The Holiday Gift Bag Project
It’s Holiday Gift Bag Season! Join us to learn more about how you can support Concord Prison Outreach’s largest Beyond the Walls initiative. For decades, CPO has sponsored and provided a simple, useful gift bag to incarcerated people in Massachusetts state prisons. Each bag contains toiletries, a pocket calendar, and a greeting card. While these may seem like simple gifts, each bag is a reminder that people “beyond the walls” see their humanity and care about them during the difficult holiday season.
This year, we’re gifting 2,300 holiday gift bags across 4 locations: Northeastern Correctional Center, North Central Correctional Institute, MCI-Framingham, and MCI-Shirley.
Each session offers a meaningful opportunity to learn about real-time justice events, reflect, and connect with others who are committed to this work. Together, we will build the knowledge, awareness, and skills needed to serve with compassion, intentionality, and effectiveness.
