008.01(F) COMMUNITY SERVICE.

The community service component is a structured program in which the participant performs unpaid work under the auspices of public or nonprofit organizations. Community service programs must be limited to projects that serve a useful community purpose. Community service programs must include structured activities that both provide a community service and also improve the employability of the participant. Community service programs are designed to improve the employability of participants not otherwise able to obtain employment. The prior training, experience, and job skills of a participant must be taken into account, to the extent possible, in making appropriate community service assignments. For selection criteria and placement, scheduling, time and attendance, communication with the work site, termination of assignment, participant protection, and for worker protection, see regulation earlier in this chapter.
