ONTARIO MINISTRY OF CHILDREN, COMMUNITY AND SOCIAL SERVICES, YOUTH JUSTICE DIVISION | MINISTÈRE DES SERVICES À L'ENFANCE ET DES SERVICES SOCIAUX ET COMMUNAUTAIRES DE L'ONTARIO, DIVISION DES SERVICES DE JUSTICE POUR LA JEUNESSE

Purpose

Through this project, the Government of Ontario's Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, Youth Justice Division, will work with community-based organizations to address current and emerging gaps in the youth justice system. Intervention programming will be developed through two program streams. The first stream of programs will provide interventions to address the offending and at-risk behaviour of boys in the youth justice system that target issues of violence against women. The second program stream will offer culturally relevant programming to address underlying issues leading to the over-representation of Black and Indigenous youth in the justice system. Both programs will support youth involved in the justice system and staff that deliver youth justice programs.
