Thanks for asking about Alpha for Prisons!
1 - Please check with the Prison Chaplain to see if Alpha is already running in the facility. Chaplains oversee the faith-based programs and can help volunteers with the necessary application forms and scheduling.
2 - The Alpha videos & training are the same in any context (church, prisons, etc). The resources are free online and downloadable for all registered courses. Download the free Alpha for Prisons Mini Guide for leaders.
3 - Additional training is required to be a volunteer within the Correctional Service of Canada. Please visit the CSC website for more information. Info here.
4 - If you have any questions, please contact our Alpha for Prisons Director, Sean Wilkinson, at prisons@alphacanada.org.
