If the Prosecutor wants to divert the case, the juvenile does not go to court. The board is a group of people from the local area.
Board members are unpaid volunteers.
The worker or board talk with the juvenile about what the juvenile did that is against the law. The juvenile must agree that the charge is correct. The worker or board then decides what the juvenile must do for breaking the law. It can also be the cost of paying for doctor bills if the juvenile hurt a person. The juvenile must agree to the decision of the worker or board by signing the diversion agreement.
