Community Involvement
Larch Corrections Center has over 120 community volunteers that support religious, offender change, and Family Friendly activities. The facility is always looking for new volunteers to assist in these programs by contacting the Chaplain and Community Involvement Program Coordinator (CIPC). These connections not only help our staff and inmates, but build strength and acceptance for individuals as they prepare to return to their families and communities in Washington state.
Clark College is a strong collaborator for the facility, providing inmates basic education courses to attain their General Equivalency Diploma (GED), as well as, vocational skills training/certification to enhance employment opportunities upon release.
Evergreen College’s Sustainability in Prisons Project along with the Oregon Zoo have helped to create and support sustainability programs, such as, rehabilitation of the Western Pond Turtle, Beekeeping, and growth of butterfly plantain through specialized skills and environmental literacy programs. Larch also engages in the socialization and basic training of canines and felines through collaborations with the West Columbian Gorge Humane Society (WCGHS) and the Humane Society for SW Washington (HSSW). Volunteers and a designated animal behaviorist works with offenders to teach rehabilitation and socialization techniques to offenders to assist in addressing the individual animal’s needs, promoting an opportunity for these wonderful animals to find their forever homes.
