WE HELP THE COURTS

​

CCS staff interviews each individual referred by the court and matches them with an appropriate community service placement at a not-for-profit or governmental agency or on a CCS supervised work crew. Placements are determined based on a variety of factors including criminal history, location, health restrictions and work experience. In addition, placements can be arranged to accommodate an individual’s work and school schedules as well as court-related obligations. In addition, placements can be arranged for individuals out of the Cleveland area if needed.

​

CCS monitors each client’s community service assignment and provides regular updates to the referring court on their progress - alleviating the burdensome placement process and follow-up work for court staff. In addition, CCS has partnerships with hundreds of not-for-profit and governmental agencies that provide supervised community service assignments. Participating agency work sites must agree to rules for participation in CCS; provide proof of liability insurance; and provide timely and accurate reports.  

​

Since 1985, courts have referred nearly 315,00 individuals to CCS who have completed more than 9 million hours of community service in our community.
