Court-ordered Community Service
Variable Positions
You can fulfill court-ordered community service requirements at GMVCC. We cannot certify community service that is not cleared with us first and we reserve the right to not accept or to discontinue work with any volunteer. Also, GMVCC is not able to work with those who have committed most felonies or any violent crimes. In that case, the court that ordered community service should be able to help you find placement. We provide time sheets to keep track of required hours and will also cooperate with any reasonable paperwork required by the court.
All volunteers are required to complete a Court-ordered Community Service Application (PDF 62 KB). Volunteers over age 18 must also pass a criminal background check (PDF 51 KB). Please download, complete, and submit both forms as appropriate.
