For this reason, all community service workers must have parental/guardian approval to do community service unsupervised with our organization. KLB will provide the necessary supplies to conduct trash pick up (trash bags, litter grabbers, gloves, safety vests, etc). Workers may sign up for up to 8 hours of community service for each session offered. Unless otherwise stated, all community service hours are trash pick up and outside work- so please dress accordingly.
