I am not sure about the indexing because it might be that the court wants an official to supervise the person needing to serve community hours. Only the court knows what types of community organizations they can accept.   In Michigan, organizations that are allowed to have youth serve there include the LDS bishops storehouse. My friend told me that many youth (member and non-member) served at the bishops storehouse when they needed to have community hours.   Perhaps a food pantry or other similar organization would work too.   Where does the youth want to serve? Does he/she have an interest that could be matched with a particular organization? For instance, could they volunteer at a hospital if they are interested in the health field?   Just my own two cents from my part of the world.   Mary Scott     ________________________________ From: Maureen Lake <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 1, 2012 12:58 PM Subject: [LDS-WC] Community Service Good morning, all, I have a young member in our ward who is in need of court-ordered community service.  Since the numbers are measurable, can anyone think of a reason why indexing wouldn't work as community service?  She needs 18 hours, so I estimated it at 36-40 batches to meet that time.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I will certainly put the suggestion about working with the blind to her. She might also help out at the local organization for the handicapped. Our stake president is with the public defenders office here and he thinks the indexing might work. She's going to check with the court, but I would take her to the FHC with me for three or four days to confirm her hours and work. Then a letter from the bishop (on letterhead) should cover it.

My granddaughter did indexing for a lot of community service, but it is important to get prior approval so that you know ahead of time that these type of service hours are acceptable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary S.
