Elevating the Standard of Community Service Coordination
CivicTracking was created to address a practical coordination problem: court-ordered community service often requires supervising authorities, courts, attorneys, participants, and independent community organizations to exchange information across disconnected processes. CivicTracking is being developed to make that coordination more structured, transparent, and reliable.
Mission
CivicTracking exists to close the coordination gap between courts, supervising authorities, and the community organizations that host court-ordered service placements—replacing fragmented paperwork and disconnected processes with clear referrals, reliable service-hour verification, and standardized documentation that supports consistent review and accountability.
Vision
A community-service system where participant service activity is documented and verified accurately, courts and supervising authorities have clear visibility into progress and completion information, and host organizations can focus on the people and communities they serve instead of chasing paperwork—beginning in New York and New Jersey and expanding as trusted institutional and community partnerships grow.
Philosophy
Accountability works best when the process is clear, transparent, and respectful. CivicTracking is built around clear expectations, consistent verification, and practical collaboration among supervising authorities, courts, community organizations, and participants—so documentation supports accountability without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
Founder Background & Professional Training
Bernell (Ya-iel) Phipps, CAMS-I, CDVS-I
Working alongside court-mandated programs and the nonprofits that host community-service placements, Bernell recognized a persistent disconnect between justice systems and local organizations. The lack of a standardized system made tracking participant hours inefficient for community partners and difficult for courts to verify reliably.
He founded CivicTracking to create a reliable coordination standard. The platform simplifies service recording for participating organizations while providing courts with accurate, trustworthy verification.
