Hints You May Find Useful

When downloading forms to your computer, simply click on the link. If that doesn't download the form, try right-clicking (on a Mac, control-click). This should bring up a menu that will allow you an option for saving the file to your computer.

The forms can be filled out on your computer and saved to your computer and/or printed. When you print the form, be careful to choose the printing option that says something like "Print document". Turn off any options that say something like "document and markups".

IMPORTANT: To be able to save forms, etc. you must have Adobe Reader 7 or later installed. It is free to download from Adobe's web site: http://www.adobe.com/

TDCJ Volunteer Application

Volunteers who enter TDCJ units to participate in Kairos or other programs must first complete volunteer orientation training. The TDCJ provides the training. To apply to receive the training, you need to:

complete the volunteer application form,
submit it,
wait to receive a letter authorizing you to attend the training,
attend the 3-hour training session,
wait until you are listed on the TDCJ computer database as an "approved volunteer",
ask the chaplain to list you as approved to enter his/her unit,
wait until you know that it has been done.

Note: All volunteers are required to do the following to remain a volunteer in good standing:

Enter a unit at least once in 2 years
Have that visit recorded by the chaplain
Be retrained at least once every 2 years.

You can do online REtraining once
The next time, you must go to a facility and be retrained on site.
You can alternate online and on site retraining as long as you remain a volunteer in good standing.

The above is for your convenience only. The official policy on training and retraining is at the TDCJ web site. The policy may change without our having taken notice of it right away.
