VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS

Your community needs you!
Join the team!

Hundreds of volunteers and a non-profit support group help the Orange County Probation Department in its mission to enhance community safety. Probation VIPs work in a variety of assignments, often directly with juvenile and adult probationers. Their volunteer service is rewarding as they help to turn lives around, thereby reducing the threat posed by convicted criminal offenders. Through volunteer programs and the Probation Community Action Association, Orange County residents can directly be part of the solution to crime.
