The 24-year-old starlet stopped by the center earlier this week for her orientation. A source close to Linds tells us:

    "She's thrilled to finally get started at the center and to prove herself in the eyes of the court. This is Lindsay's chance to start over and she doesn't want to screw it up."


The center, itself, is welcoming Lindsay with open arms. Read what they had to say about her community service ... after the jump.
