Before you begin working hours for court ordered community service, you should first make sure that the organization is approved by your court. Some courts will not permit community service at your school or church while others freely allow it. Your probation officer should be able to confirm that the 501 c(3) non-profit organization, that you have selected will meet your sentencing obligations. You will need to make sure that you maintain good records of every date and hour worked. You should also make sure that you sign in and out on the agency?s work log sheet if they provide one or our community service timesheet if the worksite does not have a timesheet. Be prepared to provide proof of your identity as well as papers to document what you have been convicted of. Some organizations will also require you to complete an application, a volunteer orientation, a test or sometimes even a health screening test for tuberculosis or other infectious diseases. Many courts in Cook County will mandate community service as a part of a sentence. Your lawyer might also request that the court permit you to perform community service instead of paying court fines if you are unable to afford the fines. Many non-profit organizations will accept court mandated volunteers but for safety, security, and liability reasons some worksites will not accept those with felony convictions or defendants who have committed violent crimes.

Community service is a condition of probation that requires probationers to perform services without compensation for the benefit of the community. This sanction not only provides a service to the community but also enhances accountability and helps instill responsibility. Community service can be ordered by a judge or by the supervising probation officer through the Adult Probation Department's in-house administrative sanctions protocol.

The Cook County Community Service Unit places probationers at a variety of work sites throughout Cook County. The sites are either not-for-profit organizations or government agencies. The type of work performed by probationers typically involves neighborhood clean-up, graffiti removal and janitorial services. Cook County Officers assigned to the Community Service Unit are responsible for monitoring and evaluating all community service mandates. The needs and safety of the community as well as the skills of the probationer are considered when making placements. Officers monitor the probationers' compliance by visiting community service sites and consulting agency representatives. If a probationer fails to comply with a community service mandate, the case is either processed through the administrative sanctions protocol or is brought back to court for a violation of probation hearing.

Finding a place to volunteer is not as easy as it might seem. If you are a juvenile, it can become even harder.
