Can I do court-ordered community service hours with Volunnear?
A Volunnear coordinator handles court-ordered hours. The court or agency that ordered them decides whether hours count, so the assistant cannot promise they will.

Who this applies to
This applies to anyone who has been told by a court or agency to complete community service hours.
How it works
- Tell the assistant you have court-ordered hours.
- The assistant hands your request to a coordinator.
- Gather the court or agency paperwork and bring it with you.
- The coordinator checks whether the organization can sign your hour logs.
- After you attend, ask the organization or the coordinator to confirm your hours in writing.
What to know
- Only the court or agency that ordered the hours can say they count.
- Volunnear does not decide, and it cannot promise a result.
- The coordinator checks that the organization can sign hour logs before you start.
- Not every organization can sign logs.
- The organization or coordinator can confirm in writing the hours you worked.
- Volunnear cannot confirm hours that the organization did not record.
An example
Marcus in Staten Island has 40 hours to finish for a court. He tells the assistant, and a coordinator reads his paperwork and finds an organization that can sign logs. After each shift he asks for a signature. He still checks with the court that the hours are accepted.
What we cannot do
- Promise that your hours will count.
- Promise a placement or a finish date.
- Sign hour logs for an organization.
