The Community Service Program strives to hold youth accountable for their actions with the hope that we are redirecting their focus on becoming law abiding, productive citizens. In collaboration of caring agencies and organizations, the DeKalb County Juvenile Court Community Service Program has been able to provide quality service to the community and its victims for over 30 years.
Who Can Help?
It is with the help of agencies and organizations throughout DeKalb County that youth are being held accountable, rehabilitated, trained and educated. The Juvenile Court is always looking for volunteers to help with the process. Any agency or organization looking to become a community service site must:
- Be a nonprofit organization
- Provide a safe and non-hazardous work environment
- Accept youth on a non-discriminatory basis
- Provide supervision of youth at all times
- Agree to seek medical attention for youth, if needed
Who Qualifies?
Youth who are required to perform community service hours must meet the following criteria:
- Youth between the ages of 13 to 17 years old
- Reside in DeKalb County
- No adjudications for a sex offense or a serious weapons offense
- No physical or mental disabilities that will prevent them from performing the required hours
- Must have custodial or parental support
