Commonly Asked Questions
I’m supposed to appear within three days of
sentencing. What do I do?
If you are on formal probation, you must
report within three days. Otherwise, come in
person allowing yourself enough time to
complete your hours. Bring your court
papers. Bring the fee in exact cash or money
order. If it’s your first time, arrive
before noon or an hour before closing.
Do I need to bring my court papers?
Yes, we need your paperwork to proceed with
the interview.
Can I arrange my service over the phone?
No, you must appear in person.
Can I send someone else to sign up for me?
No, you must appear in person. If you are
under 18 years of age, you must bring a
parent or guardian with you.
Do I have to pay a fee?
Yes, please see the
fee section
of this page for amounts. Please bring
exact cash or a money order at the time of
registration. You may pay with your
debit card and a $1.50 charge will apply.
Can I get the fee waived or pay in
installments?
As of February 2010 the courts can no longer
waive a defendant’s fees only CRP has the
authority to waive fees, offer fee
reductions and/or payments plans through a
financial assistance application process to
determine a defendant’s financial ability to
pay program fees. Inquire about the
application and process at one of our 4
office locations.
Why do I have to pay a fee to the center to
do my hours?
During sentencing, you chose the option of
completing community service instead of
paying a fine or going to jail. The fee
offsets the cost of processing your case at
the Volunteer Center. It covers the time for
the interview, monitoring, follow-up, and
reporting back to the courts. The Volunteer
Center is not compensated by the justice
center for these services.
Can I pick the place that I will go to
complete my hours?
You will meet with an interviewer who will
work with you to determine what placement
will best suit your needs based on the court
orders and other restrictions.
Can you give me an extension (more time) to
complete my service/hours?
No, permission to extend the court deadline
is only given by the court BUT we can help.
Return to our office and ask for a progress
report. Take that report to the court to
request an extension.
Can I transfer and do my service someplace
else?
YES. If you would like to do that without
coming to the office, please mail us a clear
copy of your court order with the following:
1. A stamped, self-addressed envelope.
2. A letter indicating the city/state you
want to be transferred to.
3. Your current daytime contact phone
number.
4. A money order of $50 made payable to:
Volunteer Center Orange County
I finished my hours. What do I do?
Report in person or have someone else bring
your completed time sheet to the CRP office
where you registered (do not fax or mail).
I need to be reassigned to different work.
What do I do?

or money order for the reassignment fee.
