Get Involved

Here is a way to volunteer for different events and activities.  

EXODUS JAIL VISITATIONLonely in jail

Rates of depression and suicide for incarcerated people are vastly disproportionate when compared to the general population. Responding to an acute need for volunteers to visit in the jails, the Northern Kentucky Interfaith Commission and the Mental Health Association of Northern Kentucky joined forces to sponsor Exodus. Exodus volunteers listen to incarcerated people who are often filled with anxiety, frustration, and depression because of their past and present life situation.

Pairs of Exodus volunteers visit with the inmate in a holding cell, away from the inmate's usual cell. They visit inmates in the three Northern Kentucky county jails (Kenton, Campbell, and Boone) and Maplewood Children's Home.

Volunteers do not represent a particular religious point of view. Our purpose is to listen and care, not convert or preach. Volunteers are screened and trained to participate in the jail visitation program.

We are funded by all three county fiscal courts, the United Way, and donations given through the Mental Health Association of Northern Kentucky and the Interfaith Commission.

If interested in becoming a volunteer for Exodus, or if you would like to make a donation, Contact Us or call (859) 431-1077.
