Community service is a standard sentencing term in many Colorado criminal cases, including DUI. Typically the court orders the defendant to complete a certain number of hours of useful public service by a certain date as a term of probation. And as long as the defendant completes the requisite number of community service hours and any other court-ordered terms, the defendant will remain out of custody.
Defendants sentenced to community service should take care to log all of their hours and have their volunteer services supervisor at the organization sign off on the time sheet. This will serve as proof to the court that the defendant completed all the required hours.
Through outreach and advocacy, community service providers serve a wide array of marginalized and low-income local community members, including people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, and people with mental health problems and in need of health care services. Volunteers typically need to submit to a background check and show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
The following are nonprofit organizations in the Denver Metro Area which offer volunteer opportunities where criminal defendants can typically fulfill their court-ordered community service requirements. But defendants should double-check with the court beforehand that it will recognize the particular organization’s community service opportunities. (During the pandemic, the court may accept virtual opportunities for community service.)
