| Purpose : |
The Roseau River Youth Crime Prevention Project intends to address the risk factors associated with youth crime. First, various community organizations will provide training to a youth co-ordinator and assistant on substance abuse, family violence, and physical and sexual abuse. Partners of the project, including Dakota Ojibway Child and Family Services and Ginew School, will help the youth develop a curriculum for a coping skills camp. Next, the co-ordinator and assistant will present a day camp and workshops on youth issues relating to prevalent risk factors in the community. Lastly, those benefiting from the initiatives will be honoured at an award banquet to reinforce positive life choices. |
