The JRB provides GC Youth ages 11 to 17 with an intake diversion strategy to avoid formal involvement with the Department of Juvenile Services and the local Sheriff's Office by providing youth with alternative community sanctions (meaningful consequences) to be completed within a 30 day time frame.

This targeted at risk youth prevention and diversion strategy is for youth ages 11 to 17 and offers intake diversion services to juveniles referred to DJS for a first time non-violent offense in hopes of avoiding further DJS involvement. The program also diverts first time minor moving violation offenders (up to age 17) through the local Sheriff's Office from becoming a formal citation.
