Can you sign off on service hours for my school, company, club or civic group?

If you have court-ordered community service hours, you must sign up with us ahead of time. Come to SRK headquarters at 328 Riverfront Drive, Augusta, GA 30901 between 9:00am-3:00pm M-F to fill out your paperwork.
Are children allowed at volunteer events?
Yes. Volunteering is fun and builds character! Children under age 14 are welcome to volunteer at events when accompanied by an adult (can be a teacher, mentor, scout leader, etc.). Those under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign their volunteer waiver to work solo.
Volunteer events take different forms: please be mindful of the unsanitary conditions of trash cleanups, the danger of working with tools and heavy equipment, natural hazards like plants and wildlife, and of course the risk of drowning when working on or near waterways. We kindly ask that you monitor young children at all times to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.
