Department of Corrections Honors
Volunteers and Interns

TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Department of Corrections is celebrating National Volunteer Week (April 9 -15, 2000) to honor the many volunteers who contribute their time and services to the state prison system. Approximately 6,000 volunteers and interns contribute more than 21,000 service hours to DOC each month. "Volunteers and interns represent a very large human resource for our agency. They help us deliver programs and services that help offenders become more productive, educated, self-sufficient, and law abiding citizens," said Secretary Michael Moore.

Volunteers are involved in activities ranging from administrative support to faith-based programs. Each region has nominated two volunteers, one from institutions and another from community corrections. One of the following nominees will be named Volunteer of the Year for Institutions and another will be named Volunteer of the Year for Community Corrections:

Volunteer Region Institution / Office Service Area Hours
