Court-Related Community Service
DuPage Habitat for Humanity welcomes volunteers who are required by a court to do community service. We reserve the right to deny ANY individual in need of court-related community service hours the ability to volunteer with the organization based on the nature, type and/or specifics of their offense. DuPage Habitat will not be a party before the specific Court which orders the service, there is no jurisdiction over the organization and the Courts cannot order the ReStore to allow an individual to volunteer with our organization. Individuals will be judged solely by their offense(s) and not by any other means, including, but not limited to age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
