This is a 16-bed unit where the clients are people with severe mental illness.  They are committed for 48 to 72 hours — although some clients stay for several weeks.  This is a fast-paced environment and might be triggering if you or one of your loved ones struggle with mental illness.  This is a paid internship and the 2 students who have interned there during the last 2 years said it was a great learning experience.

I sit on the SLO Master Plan on Aging committee. They are looking for an intern to serve as an administrative support coordinator and sit on the program advisory committee for the Master Plan on Aging, which is now being overseen by the SLO County Adult Services Policy Council. The role would expose students to the many biopsychosocial needs of seniors as well as the efforts underway to move forward initiatives to address these needs at both the local and state-wide levels. I thought it might be a good opportunity for a Sociology student interested in organizations or macro-level social work. Robert Diaz with SLO County DSS would be the contact for more information. I am cc'ing him on this email.

FAQs

How can I get involved as a volunteer?

We have several ways for you to get involved! You can be involved as an In-Custody Lead Volunteer, In-Custody Accompaniment Volunteer, Facilitated Program Volunteer, Reentry Mentor Volunteer, Administrative Volunteer and Reentry Program Lead and Accompaniment Volunteer!

What steps do I take to become an in-custody volunteer?

The first step is to attend our Community Workshop, which is an introduction to our organization and Restorative Justice. Depending on which facility (Jail or Juvenile Hall) you'd like to volunteer at, you must attend the facility's orientation. After attending both the workshop and facility orientation, you must complete a Live Scan in order to enter the facilities. Once you complete a Live Scan and are cleared, you will be asked to meet with the Volunteer Coordinator to discuss programs you might be attending.

What is a Live Scan?

A Live Scan is a simple background check where an operator will electronically scan your fingerprints in person. Along with your Live Scan, you must submit an application.

How soon can I begin volunteering at the Jail and/or Juvenile Hall?

After you have completed your Live Scan(s), you will meet with the Volunteer Coordinator to discuss your availability. The Jail will notify you of your clearance status anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks. As for the Juvenile Hall, the Probation Department (where your Live Scan is done for the Juvenile Hall) will send out a list in batches to notify us of any clearances, which can sometimes take a few months. Unfortunately, the Juvenile Hall does not notify us of clearances on a rolling basis as the Jail does.

What if I am unable to attend the Community Workshop?

We offer quarterly workshops that you'll be able to attend! These Orientation Cycles typically occur in the months of January, April, July, and October. If you missed a workshop and would like to begin volunteering sooner, we offer programs at our reentry homes that you can be involved in!

If I am cleared at the Jail, then am I cleared at Juvenile Hall?

No. Unfortunately, the Jail and Juvenile Hall does not have a shared system of clearances. You must complete separate Live Scan processes and applications, depending on which facility you are interested in volunteering at.
