CHANTIER D'AFRIQUE DU CANADA (CHAFRIC)

Purpose

The Youth in Positive Action project will provide individualized intervention to visible minority youth, aged 12 to 17, who are involved in the criminal justice system and who are at risk of being recruited by a street gang. Through targeted interventions, sports, cultural, recreational and artistic activities, the project's objective is to promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of these young people. To increase the chances of success of this project, efforts will be made to involve family members, school, police, peers and other community partners to enhance community collaboration. As well, the project will also raise awareness among the youth who do not have citizenship to help them understand the consequences of their actions on their individual and family immigration files.
