Court-Ordered Volunteering

If you have court ordered community service hours, you may be able to find opportunities to complete those hours through Hands On Twin Cities.

Step 1: Register
To sign up for projects or get contact information on opportunities, you must first be registered on this site.

PLEASE NOTE: Individuals who have been convicted of or charged with any crime involving or relating to child abuse or neglect, child pornography, child abduction, or any other violent offense, including kidnapping, rape or any sexual offense, or who have ever been ordered by a court to receive psychiatric or psychological treatment in connection with such crime or crimes are NOT permitted to register on this site.

Step 2: Notify Us
By law, you must notify any organization you wish to volunteer with that you have court referred community service hours to complete, and provide information on the nature of your offense. To notify Hands On Twin Cities, please email info@handsontwincities.org and include your full name, the number of hours you need to serve, and your offense.

Step 3: Find Volunteer Opportunities (Project Calendar)
There are two ways to find volunteer opportunities where court ordered volunteers are permitted. Please note – you MUST notify each organization of your offense and the number of hours you need to complete.
