You want to make a real difference?
Women in Transition equips volunteers to make real relational connections with women transitioning out of prison or jail, making it possible for them to write a new ending to their story. These are the first steps to become a Women in Transition volunteer mentor.
Step 1
Watch Orientation
Is Women in Transition the right fit for you? Watch our 15 minute orientation video for an overview of who we serve and how we do it.
Step 2
Watch Training
After watching the orientation video you will receive an email with a link to the training videos. Sign in to the system and then begin watching the volunteer training. This is the biggest time commitment you’ll make to the application process, but it is pivotal to understanding the goals and processes of Women in Transition and to your successful Women in Transition relationships.
Step 3
Complete the Training Questionnaire
After watching the videos you will receive an email with a link to our short quiz. The quiz enables us to ensure that you caught the most important details from training. Your results are automatically submitted to your Program Manager.
Step 4
Submit Application
After completing the training questionnaire you will receive an email with links to our applications for volunteers and neighbors. Click on the one that fits the role you would like to fill at Stand in the Gap.
Mentee Application: If you are a woman who would like to have your own personal Women in Transition mentor team, please submit the application at this link. After submitting your application, please complete our Hope Survey.
Step 5
Meet Us
Email your Program Manager to schedule a time to meet (virtually). This will be an informal time to get to know each other and address any questions you may have from training.

Step 6
Matching Process Begins
Upon completion of the above steps, you are ready to be matched with a Women in Transition small group! This process can take between 20 and 50 days. That’s because we are working hard to create the best small group we can.
Some of the things we look for when matching Women in Transition small groups are vocation, common interests, location, hobbies, personality, etc. Once we match you, we will reach out to confirm you are still interested, then schedule a group conference call.
What happens after a small group is matched?
