What Parents Need to Know

When your child needs community service hours, you want a program that's safe, legitimate, and actually teaches something. Here's how our program works.

🏠

Complete From Home

Your child completes coursework from home on any device: laptop, tablet, or phone. No transportation logistics, no unfamiliar locations, no scheduling conflicts.

πŸ‘οΈ

Transparent Progress

You can monitor your child's progress through the platform. Hours are tracked automatically with exact timestamps so you can see when and how long they worked.

πŸ“š

Educational Value

Coursework covers accountability, emotional regulation, decision-making, and personal growth. These are real lessons: not just clicking through screens.

πŸ“„

Verified Nonprofit

We are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a Platinum Transparency Rating from Candid/GuideStar. Your child receives a verified certificate accepted by many courts and schools.

Common Situations We Help With

Parents contact us for a variety of reasons. Here are the most common.

βš–οΈ

Court-Ordered Hours

If your child has been ordered to complete community service by a juvenile court, our program may satisfy that requirement. Always confirm with the court or probation officer before enrolling.

πŸŽ“

School Requirements

Many schools require community service for graduation, honor society membership, or scholarship eligibility. Our verified certificates provide the documentation schools need.

πŸ“‹

Diversion Programs

If your child is participating in a juvenile diversion program, community service is often a core component. Confirm with the program coordinator that our online format is accepted.

❀️

Voluntary Service

Some parents enroll their children proactively to build character, fulfill college application requirements, or teach the value of service. Our platform is open to voluntary participants as well.

⚠️ Important Information for Parents

Foundation of Change is an online community service provider. Completion of our program does not guarantee acceptance by any specific court, judge, school, or jurisdiction. If your child has court-ordered community service, always confirm with the court, probation officer, or attorney that our program is accepted before enrolling.

We recommend that parents remain aware of and involved in their child's participation throughout the program.

β™Ώ ADA-Compliant Access

The Foundation of Change was built as an accessibility initiative. Our program provides an ADA-compliant pathway for youths who face barriers to traditional in-person community service: including those with physical disabilities, chronic health conditions, mobility limitations, or transportation challenges.
