Volunteer: Court Ordered Community Service

Please complete the online application at the link below to qualify for court-ordered community service.  

https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/parks/court-ordered-community-service-registration

If your offense includes theft, violence, sexual assault, or a weapon, you are not eligible for our program.  You must contact your probation officer or attorney for a new program.

You are not approved to start court-ordered community service until you receive an approval letter from the City of Fort Worth staff. You must have the approval letter to begin community service at any City of Fort Worth community center. It is your responsibility to contact the community centers and coordinate if and when they have availability for community service.

Community Service Key Points:

You will typically be doing maintenance work, so dress appropriately but still maintain a well-groomed appearance. Center guests do not know you are not an employee, so it is important to act professionally and represent the City of Fort Worth well. If you do not meet the standards, staff can ask you to leave. Always sign in and sign out to ensure you get credit for your hours. Center staff will log your hours in the system. The court will call to verify your hours. Hold on to your original paperwork, do not leave it at the center. Never be alone in a room with a child (to protect yourself). Make sure you have enough time to complete all your hours. Create a consistent schedule. We recommend three to four hours a day.
