School-Based Community Service
The City of San Rafael has volunteer work available for young people fulfilling community service requirements for schools provided that students think ahead and plan generally at least one month or more prior to due dates for service. Some considerations: Most of the volunteer work available at the City corresponds to normal business hours of operation. However, the City engages in occasional weekend and evening activities which may be appropriate for young people. The more advance notice that is given, the better the chance for finding a good placement. We are usually not able to accommodate people that call us a few days or a week before their hours are due. Please visit our calendar to see more about what we are doing on the weekends, and give us a call at 415.485.3407. Some activities may not be listed. Parents are welcome to make first contact if necessary, but we require that the student volunteer make contact directly before placement.

Traffic and Misdemeanor Violations
The City of San Rafael occasionally has volunteer work available for people fulfilling community service requirements for minor traffic and misdemeanor infractions. Applicants must have a legitimate court referral document, and must commit to showing up on time, being friendly and professional, and contributing a strong work ethic. We do not sign volunteer time until all hours are completed. Some considerations: Most of the volunteer work available at the City corresponds to normal business hours of operation.
