The Community Service Coordinator assists the sentencing judges to implement the provisions of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure whereby criminal offenders placed on probation at either the misdemeanor or felony level are assigned to the Community Service Program. This project is designed to instill in probationers a sense of self worth and community spirit. Additionally, probationers learn job shills and learn to deal with the root causes of problems which subject them to possible commitment to the Department of Corrections or county jail. While enrolled in the Community Service Project, probationers are required to perform hours of free service to non-profit entities which serve the general public.

The long range goal of this program is to help the courts make better use of the sentencing options and improve the employability of probationers. The following is a list of some of the referrals where a probationer might serve:

Beehive Day Care
