Want to Volunteer?
Volunteers are the most important resource communities have and they are the heart of our REC program. Without them we could not do God's work in Florida jails.
Those serving on an REC team must have participated in a Cursillo, Emmaus, Discipleship, Tres Dias, or similar "Walk" experience. Volunteers may also choose to attend an REC Outside event so they can participate in the REC Program. Click here for more about REC Outside.
Serving as a REC volunteer typically means that you will be assigned to serve with a team of other volunteers who come together to hold an REC weekend at a Florida jail. The team is formed and trained over several sessions prior to an REC weekend. Roles may include serving as a table leader, speaker, musician, or as inside and/or outside jail support members.
