Volunteer Opportunities

Thinking of volunteering for Kairos? We would LOVE to have you join the 30,000 volunteers who are already passionate about our mission!

There are many opportunities for you to serve in Kairos Prison Ministry. All we ask is that you have a willing heart and a spirit of obedience and you can play a crucial role in God’s ministry of Changing Hearts, Transforming Lives and Impacting the World. Here’s some basic information to help you “get involved.”

I would love to someday be able to volunteer and be able to give back the love that was given to me.

Please, please pass on my love to all the ladies this weekend. That was a magical weekend for me, and I hope others feel the love of Christ.

God bless each and every volunteer that set foot there this weekend.

Kairos Prison Ministry volunteers come from all walks and strata of life. They all share a desire to follow Christ’s admonition of Matthew 25:36, “I was in prison and you visited me.”

There are three programs in Kairos Prison Ministry:

Kairos Inside, ministering to men and women in prison
Kairos Outside, ministering to women who have been impacted by incarceration
Kairos Torch, which ministers to incarcerated youth in prisons and correctional facilities

If you feel God’s call to minister to men or women in prison, or to women who have been impacted by incarceration, find out more about volunteer opportunities at Kairos locations (or contact us).

All Kairos Ministry activities are covered with prayer. You can volunteer to be a part of that prayer effort every Tuesday at 1:00 pm EST. Visit our Prayer page for more information on how to participate.

All Kairos activities are funded by donations. If you would like to support this ministry by your donation, make your check payable (any amount is appreciated!) to Kairos Prison Ministry International and send it to the our office at the address below, or make a donation online.

Each Kairos retreat weekend has opportunities for outside volunteer support, such as baking cookies, creating artwork (agape) or preparing meals.

Visible Agape is artwork which is posted on the walls of the community room for the participants to read throughout the Weekend. Signed placemats and posters made by children (first name and age only) are also especially treasured by prisoners. If you would like to send agape to an upcoming Weekend, please click on a specific Weekend on our Kairos Calendar for details on where to send it.

We may need up to dozens and dozens of cookies for a typical Kairos weekend. May God bless you for the gift of baking!
