Court-Ordered Community Service

What you need to know before signing up

Welcome to those that need to complete probationary or court-ordered community service hours!

About Court-Ordered Service Opportunities

Any requests regarding completed hours and verification, please send an email for assistance.

At Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity (B/CS Habitat), court-mandated community service volunteers (CSV) are warmly welcomed. However, it is important to note that the organization retains the right to evaluate and potentially deny participation to individuals requiring court-ordered community service hours, based on the nature, type, and specifics of their offense. Additionally, it is crucial to understand that B/CS Habitat is not involved in the specific court proceedings mandating the service, and therefore, the courts cannot compel the organization to allow an individual to volunteer.

Please note that the approval process, once ALL documentation has been received, typically takes a minimum of 3-4 business days. Because of this, we kindly request that you plan accordingly and send your documents to our offices in a timely manner.
