Community-Led Youth Diversion and Development Explained

This animated video describes a model for community-led youth diversion and development for youth who might otherwise face justice-system involvement. It features Los Angeles County and its use of diversion programming by local service providers to hold young people accountable for their actions, while meeting their unique needs for support and skill building. Los Angeles County is significantly expanding the use of diversion from the juvenile justice system because the alternative - arresting young people and formally processing their cases in juvenile court - increases youths’ likelihood of subsequent arrests, school struggles and employment challenges.
