Where to Apply
As a general rule you can work CS hours anywhere that is classified as a Non-Profit organization. This usually includes most churches, libraries, fire depts., park depts., animal shelters and many government organizations.
If you are not sure a worksite is Non-Profit, you should always check with your PO or the courts to make sure your hours will be counted. Some courts can be very picky about where you can work and it is always better to check after you have completed a few hours. Please remember the Courts who assigned your hours will always have the final say if there are any questions.
Look on your court papers and see if you have any restrictions on where you can work. As a general rule, any non-profit can provide hours but your court may have restrictions. You should always check.
Don't wait to get started. If your local church has hours available, get over there and start doing them. As long as you keep an accurate timesheet and have it signed by someone at the worksite your PO will most likely accept the hours. You can always check with them on your next visit and the courts will be glad you are making some progress.
Here is another tip: Don't apply where you don't fit! You know your record. Use common sense. For example, If you have an arrest record for cruelty to animals then don't apply at the local animal shelter. You may get your foot in the door but you won't last long. Better just to avoid those types of organizations. There will be plenty more to choose from.
