The Court Ordered Community Service Program has many options for scheduling; once an application has been accepted, the Operations Volunteer Coordinator will set up an orientation with you to review the Handbook, Agreement, and your schedule. (MUST attend for one hour, the hour will count as a part of your community service.)
