Community Service

Need Community Service Hours?

Volunteers can use their volunteer experience with Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis, to collect community service hours for high school, college, & some court-ordered offenses. NOTE: Depending on the reason for community service hours, the requirements may vary. See below for detailed information and instructions.

Court Ordered Community Service

Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis accepts a limited number of individuals who need to complete court-ordered community service. Opportunities are available at our ReStores and require advance screening and approval by Volunteer Services.
All potential court-ordered community service volunteers must complete a screening and provide documentation from the court, their attorney, or their probation/parole officer before they can be approved to volunteer.
Scheduling a screening does not guarantee approval. Court-ordered community service opportunities are limited and subject to availability. We may not be able to accommodate individuals who need to begin or complete their hours immediately.
Do not begin volunteering until you have received approval from Volunteer Services and a validated Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis timecard. Hours completed before approval will not count toward your court-ordered community service requirement.
For eligibility requirements, screening instructions, required documentation, and information about completing your hours, please visit our Volunteer Portal here.
