Volunteer Services
The Probation Volunteer Services Coordinator actively recruits, screens, trains and places volunteers and student interns from Bakersfield College, Cerro Coso College and California State University, Bakersfield throughout the department.
The Coordinator maintains files on all volunteer and intern personnel while promoting, soliciting and monitoring the support services and monies that allow volunteers to bring special activities and new programs into the Department. The assistance of college interns has allowed a closer level of supervision of probationers especially in Juvenile Services. The Probation Department has participated since 2000 in a Master's Program at California State University, Bakersfield by accepting Master's students as interns.
