Community Service Restitution (CSR) is a program in which juveniles perform a period of community service in a non-profit community agency, educational or governmental facility. CSR may be voluntary or court-ordered. Participants typically perform between 30 to 100 hours of community service in settings such as Boys and Girls Clubs, recreation centers, YMCA/YWCA’s, food banks, and area churches. Special weekend work projects include graffiti abatement and municipal cleanup. CSR constitutes a strategy to help juveniles assume responsibility for their actions and to be responsive to community and victim concerns. It also provides a positive experience in community involvement and socialization. Youth eligible for participation must be 14 years of age or older and have no referrals for sexual, weapons, or aggravated personal injury offenses. During 2002, a total of 943 juveniles participated in some form of community service at one of 45 different agencies. Collectively, credit was given for a total of 23,024 hours of community service. Eighty-seven percent of youth participating successfully completed all requirements of the program. Content Last Modified on 1/5/2004 2:42:38 PM |
