Built for Accountability, Not Convenience

We understand probation officers need verifiable proof, not just a certificate. Our program provides the documentation and anti-fraud safeguards that make your job easier.

Independent Verification Portal

Every certificate includes a unique verification code. You can independently verify any participant's hours, dates, and completion status through our online portal: no phone calls or emails needed.

6-Point Anti-Fraud Architecture

Participants cannot fake their hours. Our platform monitors window visibility, blocks multi-tab abuse, enforces an 8-hour daily throttle, and requires manual engagement at every step.

Detailed Hour Logs

Every session is logged with exact timestamps: dates, start times, end times, and hours accrued. These server-side logs provide the granular documentation probation departments require.

501(c)(3) Verified Nonprofit

The Foundation of Change holds a Platinum Transparency Rating from Candid/GuideStar. We are a federally recognized nonprofit: not a for-profit certificate mill.

The Verification Portal

If you need to verify a probationer's community service hours, use our online Verification Portal. Enter the certificate's unique code to pull server-side hour logs confirming exact timestamps and completion records.
