    It depends on the court where you are sentenced to do community service. Where I live you can do community service at any not for profit organization. Here you can use a place that you have volunteered before provided it is for current community service hours. Community service is restorative justice. Thus the person who broke the law hurt society and must pay society back. That is originally what community service was meant for in the legal system. I think it would only be illegal if someone was trying to get credit for community service for hour worked in prior to being sentenced, or with out approval. Best rule of thumb with any legal issue is to check with the court system where it occurred.

Theyare doing great things for people all over the world and kids. Check themout they are even open late hours they help with court community serviceand also school community service as well, you can also do a fundraise foryour hours they have alot of pretty cool programs they are great oh not to mention they are also on the Irs website as well to verify this charity.

    Don't call them unless you are serious about paying off your hours right away because the Ceo is a very busy lady, but she is very nice and will do anything to help anyone in need of help they are open pretty late on the weekends and the weekdays.
