Reentry Simulation Support (dST)

About This Role

Reentry Simulations give community members and partners an immersive, eye-opening look at what the first weeks after incarceration actually feel like. As a Reentry Simulation Volunteer, you help bring that experience to life — setting up the room before it begins, stepping into an assigned service-provider role during the simulation itself, and helping restore the space once it’s over.

What You’ll Do

Setup

• Arrive ahead of the simulation to help arrange the room into stations
• Set out props, signage, and station materials according to setup instructions

During the Simulation (Service-Provider Role) (as needed)

• Staff an assigned service-provider station if there are any station gaps (for example: employer, landlord, or probation officer) using the script and props provided
• Interact with simulation participants exactly as instructed, staying in character to preserve the realism of the exercise
• Follow Arise Collective staff direction throughout, including any adjustments made mid-simulation

Clean-Up

• Break down your station and return props, signage, and materials to their storage location
• Help reset the room to its original layout
• Report any damaged or missing materials to staff before you leave
