Boulder Municipal Court Service

Important Update: Court Mandated Community Service and COVID-19
Students are able to volunteer with nonprofit organizations that are open and operational during this time. Volunteer opportunities will follow Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines and volunteers are responsible for following protocol required to serve vulnerable populations responsibly and prevent the spread of COVID19. Some virtual volunteer opportunities may exist based on current community need and in person volunteer opportunities will require social distancing and a face covering over the nose and mouth. Students with mandated service hours will need to directly contact their probation officer for updated deadline information and to discuss possible extensions based on individual circumstances.

The Volunteer Resource Center (VRC) is proud to partner with the Boulder Municipal Court in order to serve as a resource to CU students who are sanctioned to complete court mandated volunteer hours. Prior to completion of any service, students participate in a Community Service Orientation through the VRC, which counts as an hour of service. The one hour Community Service Orientation will provide attendees with the following information and resources:

  • An overview of programs and services offered by the Volunteer Resource Center.
  • The basics of how to be an effective volunteer and engage in meaningful community service.
  • How to connect with volunteer opportunities on and off campus.
  • Tools and support for time management and personal planning.
  • Additional support resources and referrals.

Schedule your Community Service Orientation

  • During the Community Service Orientation, participants will need to have their camera on and plan to be engaged with the facilitator and other attendees.
  • Attendees will be charged $25.00 through the Bursar's Office for the facilitation of their Community Service Orientation.

Office Hours

The Volunteer Resource Center is closed for in-person visits. Our staff can be reached Monday - Friday from 9:00am - 4:00pm via email at volunteer@colorado.edu.

Please Note: The VRC is not open on Saturdays and Sundays and our office follows all CU Boulder closures for holidays. Our office will be closed from December 24th 2020 through January 3rd 2021 over Winter Break this year.
