Who sets up community service work ordered by the court?
If the court orders a youth to make restitution payments or perform community service (unpaid service work), Dane County has a program called the Youth Restitution Program (YRP) that monitors both court ordered restitution and community service hours and reports back to the Court. The juvenile and his/her family will report to the Juvenile Reception Center to sign up for YRP immediately following the hearing in which the community service or restitution is ordered. The juvenile will be notified by YRP when a job site has been arranged. Social workers and parents on occasion may monitor the community service hours if approved by the Court. An adult must keep track of the number of hours completed and give it to the social worker. Discuss the issue with the assigned social worker for more information.
