Hawaii 3rd Circuit Court Community Service


The Third Circuit Court Community Service Program was created to provide individuals who have committed minor offenses the opportunity to give back to their community while also facing the consequences of their actions.
Sarah had been caught shoplifting from a local convenience store, and rather than facing jail time, she was given the option to participate in the community service program. At first, Sarah was hesitant and felt embarrassed about what she had done, but she knew it was better than the alternative.
On her first day of community service, Sarah was paired with a group of other individuals who were also completing their hours. They were tasked with cleaning up a local park that had fallen into disarray. As they worked together, Sarah began to feel a sense of pride in her work and started to realize the impact she could have on her community.
As the weeks went by, Sarah's attitude towards her community service began to change. She actively sought out opportunities to volunteer and found joy in giving back. She even started to mentor some of the younger participants who were struggling to find the same sense of purpose.
By the time Sarah completed her hours, she had not only made a positive impact on her community, but she had also grown as a person. The Third Circuit Court Community Service Program had given her a second chance and helped her to realize the importance of taking responsibility for her actions. Sarah left the program with a newfound sense of purpose and a determination to continue giving back to her community.


I believe we have helped change so many lives through out community service program.
Many have returned to volunteer based on their positive experiences.
