Purpose : |
The project will address the priority issue of violence among youth aged 12 to 17; reach up to 100 participants (including at-risk youth and their families) per year.
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 also demonstrate 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.
