Answer 1

WHOA!   I grew up in Flum-dum, NJ,,way back in the day ~ Is there a recycling center?F ind the NORWESCAP people ( a communityactiion program), or get your probation people on it ~ that's their job. I'm real familiar w/the community action haps in Flemington. If you have special interests, all the better; check oout LegalAid, literacy programs. .  and feel free to say Neysa Kokinos(ex-CA.P.) or Beverly Smith, board member of Legal Aid for a bazillion years are your referral people. Incidentally, an asignment of 15 hours means your vandalism wasn't too severe, you have no priors. . . could you get wisdom in action, learning that vandalism's a bummer, andcome upwith a proactive plan of your own based on restorative justice? I betcha I know you or whose child you are ~ be in touch.You DO have cool resources!! Peace!!

And, for Pete's sake, vandalize your OWN stuff, not public property. . ..Fell free to e-me, homeboy/person ~ Flemington used to be a beautiful  place. Best Wishes & Hapy New Year!

Answer 2

Doesn't the precinct assign you hours? I wouldn't know where else to look.

Answer 3

If you are still in High School, then talk to your school counselor. Otherwise, you may want to contact whomever represented you when you were being sentenced.

Answer 4

You need to find a volunteering opportunity and to ask the organization if they will sign off on your community service hours BEFORE you begin volunteering. For the USA: VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations, including many in New Jersey. There's also this government sponsored site (http://volunteer.gov/gov/) which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site (http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/).
