| Purpose : |
The project will address the priority issue of violence among youth aged 6-11 who are considered at high risk of criminality; reach up to 285 youth and their parents living in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, Sainte-Geneviève, Dollard des Ormeaux Est, Cloverdale and Pointe-Claire; and will be delivered in collaboration with Projet Communautaire de Pierrefonds, SPVM – Poste de quartier 4, Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys and Commission scolaire Lester B. Pearson.
At the end of the five-year period, it is anticipated that the measurable results would
include: increased academic achievement, attendance, and attachment to school, and increased connection to the community while showing decreased levels of behavioral and discipline issues in school and in the community. Youth will demonstrate an increased percentage of high school graduation, post-secondary attendance and employment. Ultimately, it is expected that the project will result in the participants demonstrating a reduction of anti-social, delinquent, and criminal behavior.
