This personal commitment results in substantial savings to the taxpayer. Franklin Juvenile Justice has volunteer boards in Pasco, Prosser and Connell as well as Teen Boards and individuals who volunteer to see Diversion referrals. These Community Accountability Boards are composed of volunteers who are screened, trained and supervised by Diversion staff. These Boards include a variety of members from the local community of the youth and represent the cultural diversity of that community. Volunteers impress upon the youth the connection between the youth's illegal behavior and its effect on the youth, their families and others in the community.
