TDCJ Training

Volunteers who enter TDCJ units to participate in Kairos or other programs must first complete volunteer orientation training. The TDCJ, not Kairos, provides this training. To receive the 3-hour onsite training you need to show up at a TDCJ training site with your TX driver's license (it is suggested that you call the site ahead at the number listed but this is not usually necessary).

The TDCJ 2024 training schedule Link

You must wait until you are listed on the TDCJ computer database as an "Approved Volunteer" and confirmed by the Estelle Unit Institutional Liaison as approved to enter the Estelle Unit. When you are approved, your name can be submitted by the Institutional Liaison to the Estelle Chaplain so that you will be added to the "Gate List" for the Weekend.

Note: All volunteers are required to Remain as a "Volunteer in Good Standing" by:

Enter a unit at least once in 2 years & have that visit recorded by the Chaplain.
Be retrained at least once every 2 years. 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 official policy on training and retraining is at the TDCJ Volunteer website.
