Community Service – s. 316.193 (6)(a), F.S. First Conviction: Mandatory 50 hours of community service or additional fine of $10 for each hour of community service required. After being sentenced to community service the judge will sometimes provide you a list of community service organizations to choose from. Other time he or she will assign you to a specific organization. If you get lucky, a judge may let you choose a unspecified organization you are comfortable with. Some examples of community service include:

Talking publicly about the dangers of driving under the influence.
Working with anti drunk driving groups such as MADD.
Working with law enforcement (e.g. washing police cars)
Picking up liter.

The important thing is that your hours are recorded properly. When you return to court you must have a signed court document by whoever supervised you that all hours were completed. Failure to do so will result in harsher penalties such as jail time.
