Did you know in order to volunteer within the gates on a regular basis you must be TDCJ trained?  

Have you ministered inside as a guest and want to continue to volunteer within the gates?  

Then this is the perfect opportunity to become certified.

How does one become an Approved TDCJ Volunteer?

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1.     Print the Volunteer Application.
2.     Fill it out.
3.     Bring it with you to your local area training.

Former offenders will need a letter from their PO stating they have permission to volunteer along with a letter from their Church Pastor recommending you to minister within the gates.

Please attach a copy of each letter to your application and mail the original to:

Volunteer Services

Huntsville, TX 77340

TDCJ requires anyone wishing to volunteer in the prisons to attend a training session every 2 years.  The first time you must attend a live session; two years later it can be done online.  Then 2 years later it must be live again.

There will be a TDCJ volunteer training Saturday, April 27, from 8:00 am – 12:00 pm, at Gateway Church in Southlake.  The training will be in the Guest Central Room.   Guest Central is located near the center of the main lobby of the church.  

You do not need to have an approval letter from the state, and you don’t have to have applied before attending.  You may fill out an application while you are here.  

Contact Aubrey Wells at 817-552-3704, or e-mail her at outreach@gatewaypeople.com.  

The church is located at 700 Blessed Way, Southlake, TX 76092. Get a map at www.gatewaypeople.com. 

If you are an approved TDCJ Volunteer, and you have not been back through training since April of 2011, you can renew at this training.  Please call Aubrey and tell her you are coming if you need to attend a live training.

Thank You,

Johnny & Betty Moffitt
