Can community service help animals?

Volunteer at a shelter. Many local animal shelters have volunteer opportunities where you can learn about the animals and help facilitate their care. For a whole host of opportunities, head to Paws.org and help with everything from dog walking, to community outreach, to working with wildlife experts in a sanctuary.

Can you buy out community service hours in Georgia?

It depends on your case and if the Judge gave you permission to Buy Hours. If the Judge gave you the option to buy out or pay for your hours then the answer is - Yes you can! Just go back to the Court House and tell the clerk that you would like to Buy out your hours instead of doing them.

Is volunteering a community service?

Community service is a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of people for the benefit of their community or its institutions. Community service is distinct from volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis. It may be performed for a variety of reasons.
