Also called: Juvenile Diversion Specialist, Teen Court Coordinator
Runs programs that keep teens who commit minor offenses out of the court system through counseling, community service, and teen courts.
Diversion coordinators meet with teens and families, set up plans like community service or restorative circles, and run teen courts where students sentence their peers. Success means the case is closed without a record.
