If you are interested in completing Court Appointed Community Service hours with Open Hand, you must first complete a background check before volunteering. You will be required to upload your driver’s license or photo ID, and a copy of your citation or court paperwork stating your charge. You can submit these items through this link: https://forms.gle/8M3baPdtNNbHBgy26

You will be required to authorize Open Hand to perform a Background Check. The Background Check costs $20.00.

Please note that we cannot accept any felonies or sexual crimes. If you have questions or are not sure if we can accept your charge, please contact Volunteer Services at (678) 306-6649 or volunteerservices@openhandatlanta.org

If you are completing hours for a new charge, Open Hand will need new copies of your license, insurance, and a copy of the new charge. Open Hand will also require a new Background Check if it has been more than a year.

* Payments can be made in cash or online.
