Court-Ordered Community Service

Welcome to the Bloomington Volunteer Network's Court-Ordered Community Service page. Please read the following information carefully so we can connect you to the correct services. If you have been assigned community service, you are most likely in the Supervised Probation program, or the Pre-Trial Diversion Program. Please only refer to the section of this page that corresponds with the program you are a part of. 

Monroe County Pretrial Diversion Program

  1. KNOW YOUR REQUIREMENTS
    It is your responsibility to understand the Pretrial Diversion Program requirements for hours, deadlines, and documenting your community service.

  2. SEARCH OPPORTUNITIES & MAKE CONTACT
    It is your responsibility to make arrangements before you do your community service hours with each organization in which you are interested. Notify each organization that you have court-ordered service hours to complete, confirm that they can accommodate you, and ask if they are able to meet your documentation requirements before you begin your service.

  3. TRACK YOUR HOURS
    It is your responsibility  -  not the organization's - to track and verify your service hours.
