Juvenile & School Diversion

These guides explain community service and diversion for teens and students. They answer common questions from families: what a juvenile diversion program is and who qualifies, how community service in juvenile court differs from adult court, when schools assign community service instead of suspension, how school service-hour requirements work, and how teens can complete community service hours online.

They are written for parents and guardians, for students who need hours for school or court, and for the school staff who assign them. Start with the guide that matches who ordered the hours, the school or the juvenile court, then check the deadline, the proof required and any age limits before your teen begins. Our online community service program lets students complete hours at their own pace around classes and activities, with a certificate and verification code to share with the school or court.
