Prison Invisits Program Worker - Hoppers Crossing

SHINE for Kids
Logo for SHINE for Kids

The Prison Invisits Program volunteers facilitate art and craft activities for children during visiting hours with their parent in prison. Volunteers hold a valuable role in ensuring the children have a positive experience during these visits while also providing an enjoyable and uplifting environment which the children can share with their parent.

We value the time, energy, effort and support our volunteers contribute to the organisation. We rely on volunteers dedication and talents to serve children and young people who have a parent in prison.

  • promote a caring, culturally appropriate and non judgmental environment for children where they are the priority and where they, and their families, are treated with dignity and respect,
  • ensure a safe environment for all those who attend the Correctional Centre,
  • maintain an open, warm and professional relationship with all parents (inmate and non-inmate) and share positive information about children with their parents.

We are a registered Not for Profit organisation which has been supporting children and families of prisoners for over 30 years. We have a firm belief in the power of early intervention and a focus on collaboration to reduce the negative effects of parental imprisonment on children and young people.

Everyone from Executive staff to volunteers take seriously our commitment and responsibility to safeguarding children and young people across all our programs and services in a supportive environment that is caring, safe, nurturing, free from bullying, abuse, exploitation and neglect.

We support children, facilitate hope; inspire kids to reach their potential; nurture their growth; empower them to succeed.
