Community Service is one requirement a court may impose on a juvenile. Community Service provides juveniles a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the community, take ownership, and learn responsibility. Juveniles complete this work during non-school hours.

Supervised Work Crew: A work crew composed of a group of juveniles that are under constant supervision of a department Work Crew Supervisor or another approved adult.

Administrative Community Service: Community Service that is authorized while not on a supervised work crew.

• Keep the schedule agreed upon with the Work Crew Supervisor. A physician’s note or documentation of a family emergency is required for any absence from this schedule.
• Do the job you are assigned to the best of your ability and ask questions if you are not sure what to do.
• Good manners are necessary. Respect others and act cooperatively. Treat supervisors, co-workers, and the public like you would want to be treated.
• Report on time for Work Crew and dressed for the type of work assigned. Remember the weather changes, so come dressed prepared to work outside. A neat, clean appearance is required. For safety reasons, please wear closed-toe shoes and do not wear clothing with statements on it.
• Bring a sack lunch and bottle of water.
• No use of alcohol/drugs, including tobacco, if under the age of 18, prior to or during the work crew.
• No weapons. All Work Crew participants are subject to a search prior to departing for the work site. Illegal items will be turned over to law enforcement. If a participant does not want to be searched, he/she will not be allowed to work on crew and the matter will be returned to court.
• Do not bring another person to the Work Crew.
• Do not participate in any illegal activities.
• Follow the direction of the Work Crew supervisor.
