Generally any place that is designated as a non profit organization such as, soup kitchens, churches, habitat for humanity, and various other organizations. If you're having trouble finding one, speak to your Community service officer and (s)he can match you up with a place.
Court ordered community service typically involves non-profit or government organizations that serve the community. Examples may include volunteering at a homeless shelter, food bank, or community center. Other options could include working with environmental organizations, animal shelters, or assisting with community cleanup projects. The specific tasks and placements may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the offense.
You must return it to the court or, if you are being supervised by a probation officer, to your PO, so that the court can determine that you HAVE carried out that portion of your sentence.
I think you can, but you will have to check with the ordering entity. The school or court that ordered it will be able to tell you what the requirements are.
Almost any minor first offense in lieu of jail-be grateful, basically you were cut a break.
Probally get more. (: Court sucks;
Do the service as the court or its agency directs,
If you have been ordered by a judge to community service as a condition of probation or a suspended sentence your probation can be violated by your probation officer. In turn if you do not do your community service you are looking at jail time.In most cases you can do 30 days in your county jail but can get as little as 10 days or more time to do community service/pay fines depends on your record and if they hade to bring you to court by local p.d.

Generally you can't just do anything you like for community service ... it has to be done for some organization the court considers a "credible agency". If some charity group or church is making these hats, check with the court to make sure they're a "credible agency". If so, you can go there and do whatever they tell you to do (make hats, sweep the floor, or whatever) and it should count.
If you have been court ordered to perform community service, the restriction on places is set forth by the court. Sometimes it is any non-profit, sometimes it is restricted geographically or by the type of organization. If you are unsure, have your probation officer or court supervisor approve your preferred location before doing the service. If you are doing it for other reasons, almost any non-profit organization is happy to take volunteers.
You could be fined, ordered to do community service, and ordered into drug treatment therapy. Courts don't normally drug test there, but the court can order you into a treatment program which would test you. Often, you will also be given a probationary period.
No. Community Service is imposed for criminal law; the small claims court is for civil actions. All they can do is agree the debt owed to you, and enforce settlement.
If your medical condition does not permit you to do do physical labor they should be able to make accomodations for doing other things. Examples might be doing service work at a community food kitchen - at a communicty daycare - charitable organization - church - some office work (e.g.- filing papers/answering phones/etc). Ask your Probation Officer (if you have one) or advise the judge who sentenced you. DO NOT just simply stop doing your court ordered community service because you don't like it or feel you can't do it! Failing to complete your community service is the same as failing to complete your sentence and you could be remanded to jail.
