I doubt if they will let you pay for community service because its a condition of being convicted for certain crimes. If you could pay your way then the rich would always pay their way out creating a bias system. If you don't do the community service, you are violating a condition of probation, and a court order, and they may issue an arrest warrant for your arrest. If you don't complete the community service you are going to jail.

No, you can't pay for them. They will know you are just making an excuse, lots of people go to school and work and still can find to put in community service hours or volunteer. I'm not sure what you've been doing, but maybe you could find another kind of service that you can switch to to complete your hours, something that you can do on weekends or evenings. You are almost half-way done, don't give up now and make those first 33 hours mean nothing. If you don't complete all of the terms the court set up for you, then you can go to jail. Good Luck, I hope you finish your hours, finish school, and stay out of trouble.

If you was court ordered to do community service you cant not pay for the unfinished hours that you still owe the court system. Unless you want the court system to put you in jail. That's what will happen to you if you don't do what is owed to the court's

There is a legal Charity Called Uplifting Kids they help people all over the world they are a 501c3 Noprofit that help people that have last minute or current hours to complete either before going to jail or the due date or after there due date, this organization was soooo great they helped my brother and my cousin out all they had to do is make donation to the charity for the hours they were do so my cousin had 8 hours to do so he paid them $80.00 so its 10.00 dollars for every hour, also they did an overnight because he was about to go to jail it was pretty costly but it was well worth it same thing for my cousin that lived in another state they helped her out to and kept her from going to jail they mailed a letterhead out to her address for her to bring to court or rather give to her attorney and she never had any issues anymore she and my brother was soo happy they are the only charity i know thats out there they can help you , you cant complete hours online its not legal to that and this charity verified my family hours , its not worth getting locked up call this charity they are even open on the weekends as well, they are legal i verified them with the irs for charities and i verified there ein number before my brother made a donation, this charity is very nice and they do alot of great things for kids and the community so why not pay off your hours instead of going to jail , and they help out with school hours I'm in college and i had to get some hours done and they helped me with that of course all of this took place at different times but we remember this charity so everytime we was in a jam we used them and the outcome was great and legal , remember they do overnight for your court or school papers its an extra charge to expedite it to you and an extra charge for overnight they will call you with a tracking number this charity is great man they got all kinds of programs that can help you in your situation you can also fundraise off your hours and do a fundraise just give them a call i see alot of people on here that need help and rather then them call the charity to find out what they can do they end up going to jail hoping for an extention and that dont happen that often because my brother almost went to jail for not doing his community service hours the charity contact information is upliftingkids.org there phone number is 1-855-581-9111 ask to speak to the person that handles community service hours or school hours. They work with any kind of hours school hours, community service court hours it dont matter give them a call again there open on the weekends make sure you have your school information ready or your court information ready with a case or docket number because they can't do anything to help you unless you have that give them a call today Good Luck!!! I wouldn't trust no other charity but this one the other ones were flaky i didnt like them.

No way you buy your way out of this one, the judge made a ruling and the ruling is final. Community service it is.

normally no, but I am sure they can find jail time for you to work it out instead. So you take off work and do it or they will find a way to make it alot worst.
