Soteria is a community in many ways unlike any other. It is a place where lives are reoriented into a new way of seeing, of believing, and of being. The men in our program transition from a norm of trauma and instability to a routine of self-reflection and building of committments, skills, and community.

Stepping into this cycle as a volunteer can be a life changing experience if you have a willingness to listen, learn, and trust the Soteria program. We are excited that you are interested in stepping into our world to help us create opportunity for men working to successfully reenter society.

Personal History
How would you describe your spiritual journey?
Write a brief testimony about how you became attracted to serve at Soteria.
What gifts do you have to share, and how would you like to use them in Community Development?
Historically, nonprofits have chosen projects and decided how their volunteers will serve communities in need. Today, there is a movement to instead rely on the impacted communities to plan and execute service projects that affect them. In this case, the volunteer's role is to show up with a heart of service to help execute the plans of the community. What do you think about the two approaches and how do you see the role of volunteering for communities in need?
Which volunteer position are you interested in?

Board Member Mentor Penpal Woodworker Professional (i.e, Nurse, Substance Abuse Counselor, Financial Advisor) Project Based Volunteer (i.e., Gardening, Soteria House improvements, etc.)
What impact do you hope that volunteering at Soteria will have on you? How do you expect to grow from this experience?
What expectations do you have of the Soteria CDC staff & other volunteers?
Tell us about the accountability in your life. Is there a person or a set of beliefs or a community of people who help you follow through with commitments? If you were to fall short, how would you know?
What do you do when you have a conflict with someone? How do you handle confrontation?
Are there any special issues or concerns happening in your life right now that would have an impact on your commitment and involvement in our program? (Relationships, other commitments, things that you are experiencing personally, etc.)
