Start date: Wednesday, August 4, 2010
End date: Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Description:
One to One is Amicus\\\' flagship program. For over 40 years, we have been matching trained volunteers to individual offenders at four of Minnesota metro area Correctional Facilities: Lino Lakes, Shakopee, Stillwater, and Oak Park Heights. Volunteers commit to visiting, writing, and forming a true friendship with their One to One match for a minimum of one year. Volunteers and participants are matched by gender (i.e. men to men and women to women) and by whatever factors are important to both (religion, life experiences, interests, age, etc.) Both the participant and the volunteer can say no to any proposed match. The program is relationship-based and meant to support, respect, and empower the whole person. Volunteers should come to this opportunity with an open-heart and an open-mind. The time commitment is minimal-generally between 3 and 4 hours per month.
