You won't get jail most likely, your sentence will be suspended if you do community service. Expect substantial fines/costs involved.
I'm not sure there's an organized diversion program down here. You would be well advised to speak with an attorney in the county in which you are charged. If you are indigent and can not afford one, ask for one at your court appearance.
