Ask your P.O. or lawyer for the terms of your community service.

It depends on the court where you are sentenced to do community service.  Where I live you can do community service at any not for profit organization. Here you can use a place that you have volunteered before provided it is for current community service hours.  Community service is restorative justice.  Thus the person who broke the law hurt society and must pay society back. That is originally what community service was meant for in the legal system. I think it would only be illegal if someone was trying to get credit for community service for hour worked in prior to being sentenced, or with out approval.  Best rule of thumb with any legal issue is to check with the court system where it occurred.

I think you should contact court services, or whoever is in charge of your probation and explain this to them and perhaps try to ask them for an extension.  If you are required to attend court, pending a probation violation hearing, I'd either try to communicate with the presiding judge who might be able to grant you an extension or may be able to work things out so that you will be re-sentenced in such a way that you'll be able to complete all the conditions and obligations of your probation.\n\nAt the very least, if you feel you need more time to get this community service madness taken care of before you appear in court, you could always contact the clerk of court's office and have your hearing rescheduled.  Sometimes you can do this a number of times before you actually have to appear in court, and by that time, you may be able to find the time to take care of your community service hours.  \n\nIn the meantime, you should see about getting at least a start on your community service hours, because some hours is going to look way better to the judge than no hours, which means you didn't put forth any effort to do as you were asked.  \n\nIf all else fails, and none of the above helps you, call around in your community and see if you can't get a free consultation with a defense attorney who will be able to point you in the right direction.\n\nGood luck.

It depends on the terms of your probation.\n\nAre you allowed to leave the court's jurisdiction?\n\nIf so, you should have no problem so long as you comply with the terms of your probation.

Contact your favorite charity. Your community service is most beneficial if it is in an area that is of interest to you.\n\nSome places to consider:\nBoys and Girls Club\nYMCA\nLocal nursing home\nFood kitchen\nSalvation Army\nYour church of choice\n\nI had to do community service for my school so I volunteered at a church fund raiser and I also spent some time at a local convent providing some company to an aging nun in the infirmary. I really enjoyed the time I spent with this special person who saw the world in a really loving way.

Yes I have.  Usually I do my volunteer service during off peak season.  That is, not during the holiday season.  This time of the year a lot of "seasonal" volunteers come out of the woodwork and only do a half-hearted job.  I am not saying that I do not appreciate their effort but, helping others should be a year round experience.  Most of the work I have done has been with youths, beautifying the neighborhood by planting flowers, cleaning playgrounds, food drives, etc.  I also encourage others to help, who in turn get their friends involved too.

You may want to discuss this with the probation office you wishto work for.  In many areas they look for social science or social work degrees as much if not more than a criminal justice degree.\n\nAnd normally for a state probaton officer you are going to have about 400 applications for any one opening,  and over 1/2 of those will be from working police or correctional officers.\n\nThey see probation or parole often as a promotion or desk job where they get to work M to F .\n\nSo while you may meet requirements at a AA but if you don't have a BS or BA not much of a chnace for it

Some community work would look great.  Like volunteering at a homeless shelter or on a food line or food pantry.

Have you met all the terms? Have you paid all your fines and done your Community Service? If you have done all these things the Probation should more than likely be dropped by any judge

Oh goodness!  This is a big endeavor, but worth the time and pain.  I have a friend who did it, and after 2 years, she's just now getting a salary--a part-time salary, that is.  It will vary by state and your cause (i.e. opportunities for grants), but I've linked a really good handout from an association for nonprofits in my state, as well as a resource list from Michigan State University.  It'll give you a good overview.\n\nGood luck!

Contact Denton County Probation Department for information on community service.  They might have a pre-selected group of community service opportunities for probationers.

You need to check with the clerks office at the court house.  They normally will be able to direct you to a room withing the court house where they have an approved list of those places where and the type of , community service can be performed.\n\nJust call your local court house, or better yet, take a drive over on Monday and talk to someone in person, it's easier that way.

It wiil show up.Just look for jobs that only ask if you have been convicted in the last 5 or 7 years.That way you can say no.Also,you can just put down that you'll discuss it in the interview,then ask for one.I had the same problem,but it can be worked around.Besides,I wouldn't want to work anywhere the wouldn't excuse past mistakes.What is important is what you are doing now,and how the experience can be used to benefit others.It doesn't have to be a negetive.Look for jobs that your experience can be used to your advantage.I became an Addictions Counselor.Now I make $70 per hour,per person,and I don't do  groups smaller than 20 people.That's $1400 an hour,three times a week,and insurance pays it.Not bad for a convicted felon,huh?So use this to your advantage,it can be done.Don't give up,and good luck to you.

No.  You need someone in a good position in the community - a doctor, teacher, or similar professional in employment.

Well, the best place to look is in your own community.  Ask around, does anyone know an organization or group that needs help?  Check to see if it actually counts as community service (ask for a definition if you need to) then go see how you can help.\n\nThere are also some websites, I think one is called Volunteer Net or something like that.  Google it.

Call the probation department--I'm surprised you weren't put on supervision, your officer would refer you.

I've never done it but had tons of freinds and family that had.  Typically you clean trash off the side of the road, a county cop usually takes a group of you to the location in a van you get out put on bright orange vests and get to work, and if you're lucky people like me will drive by honk and laugh at you.  Other things I know people have done was paint a local community center, my brother did some kind of community service at a hospital because he has a bum knee, so I guess it just depends.
