| Purpose : |
The project will use culturally appropriate interventions which include components of Project Venture (PV). The outdoor experiential youth development program uses both in and out-of-school components that complement one another and are intended to develop capable and productive members of the community.
At the end of the five-year period, it is anticipated that the measurable results would include: increased academic achievement, attendance, attachment to school, and increased connection to the community and their culture while showing decreased levels of behavioral and discipline issues in school and in the community. As a result, youth would demonstrate an increased percentage of high school graduation, post-secondary attendance, and employment. Participants would also show a decrease in violent and aggressive behaviour.
