Court Ordered Community Service
Habitat Snohomish conducts a background check on all prospective volunteers. Court-ordered volunteers are required to have this listed on their profile and can volunteer in our Lynnwood or Everett Stores. Court-ordered volunteers must complete a minimum of 20 hours of volunteerism before we write letters on their behalf.
Please note, any shifts that extend beyond 6 hours per day require you to take a 30-minute rest break by law. Your rest break will not be included in your total service hours ( i.e. If you complete a 9:30 – 5:00p shift, you will receive credit for 7 hours for that day. You will not receive service credit for your 30-minute break).
Questions about criminal history and court ordered eligibility can be directed to our Volunteer Engagement Manager, Genevieve Hewitt, at volunteer@habitatsnohomish.org.
