Service Works

Service Works provides positive community service opportunities to youth who need to make amends for non-violent offenses. We know that youth who engage in service make positive connections to their community and gain the confidence that comes from finding success in meaningful work.

Through Service Works, individual community members and non-profit organizations receive a variety of services, making our community a better place to live, work, and grow. Community Service projects include:

Paint Murals
Remove Graffiti
Distribute Flyers
Move Furniture
Deliver Food
Assist the elderly
Neighborhood clean-up
Office work for non-profits
...and much more!

Check out what we've done:

Bright colors of a city scene now canvass the May Street side of 251 Danforth Street and another colorful cityscape mural under the Deering Avenue Bridge on I-295 are also marks of our handiwork. These colorful murals were created by LearningWorks Service Works youth through a project called "Urban Murals - Positive Avenues for Public Artistic Expression." Led by Portland West End artist and former Service Works Supervisor Dave Marshall, young people had an opportunity to interact positively with adults and connect with the community. The project was funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
