Utah Community Service & Volunteer Resource Directory
This directory organizes Utah community service and volunteer routes that may support people navigating probation, parole, pretrial release, diversion, federal supervision, justice court fines, court-appointed community service, reentry, attorney referrals, school requirements, agency referrals, or community-based service goals.
Important: OACRA does not determine whether any organization, volunteer role, community-service site, hour log, supervisor signature, online task, pantry shift, shelter-support role, parks route, court-appointed packet, government-mandated service role, trail project, thrift-store shift, animal-care role, or nonprofit placement satisfies a court order, probation condition, parole condition, pretrial release condition, diversion agreement, federal supervision instruction, agency referral, attorney recommendation, school requirement, or program requirement. Always confirm approval, restrictions, schedule, documentation, fees, screening, offense restrictions, role limits, reporting rules, travel, county or city process, and completion requirements directly with the court, supervising officer, attorney, program coordinator, referring agency, and volunteer organization before starting hours.

Approval & Documentation Guide
Use this checklist before starting any Utah community-service hours. Requirements can vary by court, probation officer,
parole officer, federal officer, diversion program, city justice court, school, attorney referral, and volunteer organization.
1) Confirm the approving authority
Ask the court, supervising officer, attorney, or program coordinator whether the site is allowed before you begin. Do not assume a nonprofit, park, thrift store, or pantry automatically qualifies.
2) Confirm documentation
Ask whether the organization can sign the exact Utah court, probation, parole, diversion, school, or agency form required for your case. Some forms require Tax ID, supervisor name, address, and phone.
3) Confirm restrictions
Food banks, shelters, animal-care sites, youth programs, federal routes, parks, and vulnerable-population programs may have offense, age, background-check, physical-task, or safety restrictions.
4) Keep your own records
Keep copies of sign-in sheets, confirmation emails, supervisor contacts, completed forms, photos of forms if allowed, due dates, and any approval notes from your officer or court.

OACRA is independent and does not provide legal, supervision, court, probation, parole, federal supervision, school, volunteer-management, transportation, emergency, or case-management advice. OACRA does not determine whether any provider, organization, volunteer task, service site, hour log, court-appointed packet, supervisor signature, public-agency task, nonprofit route, thrift-store shift, food-bank shift, shelter role, animal-care role, public-lands project, park cleanup, or documentation satisfies a court order, probation condition, parole condition, pretrial release condition, diversion agreement, federal supervision instruction, school requirement, attorney recommendation, agency referral, judge instruction, or program requirement. Users should confirm all approval, restrictions, attendance, scheduling, supervision, payment, screening, role limits, documentation, reporting, completion, telehealth/remote-task eligibility, travel, county access, and provider acceptance requirements directly with the court, supervising officer, attorney, program coordinator, referring agency, and volunteer organization before starting hours.
