Court-Ordered Volunteers 

If you have court-ordered community service hours to complete, you may be able to find opportunities through SOLVE.

Please note: Individuals who have been convicted of or charged with any crime involving or relating to invoking fear in another person and any form of harassment or assault (including but not limited to stalking, assault, battery, domestic violence, child abuse, and neglect, child pornography, child abduction, online harassment, or any sexual offense) are NOT permitted to register on this site.

If you're unsure your offense is appropriate, email us before you create an account at info@solveoregon.org. We reserve the right to turn away anyone from using our site. 
 

How to Get Started

1. Check out our Calendar

Check out our volunteer opportunity calendar to make sure there are enough projects that work for your schedule and location before creating an account. Projects are subject to cancellation (especially during poor weather conditions) so we recommend getting started early on fulfilling your requirements. 

Step 2: Create an account

Create an account on our site by registering HERE. 

Step 3: Notify Us

Notify us after you create an account, but before you sign up for a SOLVE volunteer project.

Email us at info@solveoregon.org to let us know that you have court-ordered community service hours to complete and include:

1. Full name
2. Number of hours you need to serve
3. Deadline to complete hours
4. Case number (if provided by the court)

Step 4: Find Volunteer Opportunities

View upcoming opportunities on our Event Calendar or by searching for all upcoming opportunities on this page.

Step 5: Sign Up & Volunteer

The information you need to attend each of the projects (ex. location) will be sent in a confirmation email immediately after you sign up. If you do not see an email, please check your spam box before emailing our team. You must sign up for our volunteer opportunities prior to attending. Self-reported hours or hours served without signing up in advance will not be accepted. 

Step 6: Request a Verification Letter

Once you have completed all the hours you needed with SOLVE, email us at info@solveoregon.org and our staff will then be able to write a verification of hours letter. This letter by default is emailed to you on our letterhead with our Tax ID number, your name, the number of hours you completed, and a signature from the department head on it. If your case number needs to be included, please include it in your email. We do not submit your letter to the court on your behalf. 

Please Note: SOLVE is not able to verify any hours for projects that are not managed by us. If you have signed up to attend a SOLVE project, here is a community service log you can use as backup documentation to help verify and track your hours. Last-minute requests for court-ordered volunteer opportunities will not be given any higher priority. 

If you cannot attend a project, please click "Remove Me" next to the project in your Upcoming Opportunities.
 

Email info@solveoregon.org at least 4-5 business days in advance to request a verification of hours letter.
