*  NOTE    *    

 * A business whose goal is to make money for the owner(s), is NOT a non-profit organization.  Even if you're not being paid and the business is not "showing a profit", those hours WILL NOT COUNT!                                                                                                                                                                                                     

 

* You must make sure you're working for a non-profit (charitable) organization.

​

* Working for a neighbor, relative or other individual is NOT ACCEPTABLE.  While we appreciate the sentiment of those acts, your hours must be completed through an organization.        

                                                                                                                       

* If you have a question about a specific organization, ask if they have a 501 C3 or call the Youth Court office.
