Seattle Community Court gives misdemeanor offenders opportunities to complete community service hours in lieu of jail time.  Participants ‘give back’ to the neighborhoods, often where their offenses occurred.  Today, you may see four Community Court participants in orange vests, under the leadership of AmeriCorps members Yonatan Aldort and Jeremy Ciarabellini, walking through the Central District picking up litter.  Please show them your appreciation, our goals are to help our participants, who often face multiple barriers; to restore themselves as they restore our communities.
