National Community Service &
Volunteer Directory

OACRA organizes community-service and volunteer navigation across all 50 states and Washington, DC for people completing court, supervision, diversion, school, program or general volunteer requirements.

Use the state search above to reach the correct directory. State pages may include nonprofit volunteer sites, food banks, shelters, Habitat and ReStore programs, municipal projects, volunteer hubs, cleanup routes and other community-service options depending on local coverage.

Confirm before starting hours. OACRA does not determine whether an organization, role, site, hour log, remote task or volunteer activity satisfies a court order, probation or parole condition, pretrial requirement, diversion agreement, school requirement or other program obligation. Confirm acceptance, restrictions, scheduling and documentation directly with the responsible authority and volunteer organization.

Before you start community-service hours

Requirements vary by court, officer, diversion program, agency, school and volunteer organization. These checks reduce the risk of completing hours that are not accepted.

Confirm the organization

Ask whether the organization and specific site are acceptable before beginning required hours. A nonprofit or public-service mission alone does not guarantee acceptance.

Confirm the role & restrictions

Check whether remote work, faith-based activities, thrift-store tasks, animal care, client contact, cash handling, driving or other duties are restricted.

Confirm documentation

Know what proof is required: supervisor signatures, hour logs, dates, task descriptions, organization information, completion letters or agency forms.
