Helping defendants make restitution to their communities
The Court Referred Volunteer Center (“CRVC”) program provides Courts, Probation Departments, and Judicial Authorities community service/community labor options as an alternative to fines and incarcerations for adults and youth who are convicted of infractions, misdemeanors or felonies.
CRVC enables defendants to complete their community service sentences by matching them to nonprofit and government agencies with program needs. CRVC allows defendants to make restitution to the communities they have wronged, provides nonprofit agencies with volunteer labor, and instills in clients civic responsibility and a better understanding of the consequences of violating the law.
