    Abstract

    Two juvenile diversion programs are described as conducted by county 4-H/Youth Development Agents in Kentucky and Ohio. The purpose is to share ideas and insights with others who might be considering conducting similar programs. Ten "Qualities Needed to Conduct a Juvenile Diversion Program" are shared, which include: [a] Get on their level; [b] Know when to refer; [c] Be organized; [d] Know the subject matter; [e] Model what you teach; [f] Listen; [g] Be Sensitive; [h] Be Adaptable; [i] Schedule sessions close together; and [j] Do not label. Also, four other problem area factors that youth agents should realize before the initiation of a juvenile diversion program are emphasized.
