| Purpose : |
The sponsoring organization intends to develop a tool to reduce the risks of gang membership among high school students and to establish a strategy with young people from five Montreal high schools to maximize the reach of the tool developed. The five high schools selected will be located in neighbourhoods where the gang crime rate is high. A youth committee will be created in each of the schools to develop a unique dissemination strategy for the school. An award will be given to the school that reaches the most young people. All young people will be invited to participate, as this will be a high-risk community where gangs are present at school and in the neighbourhood. |
