Goodwill provides opportunities for individuals to perform community service required by court-ordered restitution agreements. Interested persons should come to our main facility for Volunteer Orientation, which is held every first and third Wednesday of the month at 2 p.m. This orientation is mandatory. Please bring your court information, parole officer's number (where applicable) and a photo I.D. to orientation. We cannot accept community service for violent offenses towards another individual (assault) or for any weapons-related charges. (Likewise, volunteers with a history of assault or weapons-related charges cannot be accepted.) If under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must attend the orientation with the student.
