Purpose
The Transitional School for Transformation: Socioculturally Reflective Models of Support is a three-year pilot project led by Youth Association for Academics, Athletics, and Character Education (YAAACE) offering educational supports and other individualized culturally responsive programming in the Jane and Finch area of Toronto to justice-involved youth, particularly Black youth. Examples of the programming to be offered include gang exit programs, substance abuse and mental health supports, educational training, and employment opportunities. As part of its project’s objectives, YAAACE will also aim to enhance cross-agency service coordination and collaboration for more effective synergies between the education, the justice system, and other institutions for better outcomes for these youth. The youth will be connected with case managers with relevant lived experiences to provide mentorship and guidance for systemic navigation.
