Description:
The North Fraser Indigenous Youth Justice Services project aims to enhance the rehabilitative and reintegration programming available to Indigenous youth who are under community Youth Justice supervision by implementing a Cultural Care Team component including a dedicated Youth Probation Officer, a funded Elder and a Roots Worker. The Cultural Care Team will be responsible for developing and managing comprehensive cultural and intervention plans for Indigenous youth with intervention activities focusing on cultural identity, family and community supports, cultural learning, restorative justice and maintaining ongoing communication between the various youth justice stakeholders. The sought objectives of this project are to reduce the future number of Indigenous youth coming through the Youth Justice System as well as to reduce the number of breaches and recidivism of Indigenous youth currently involved in the Youth Justice system.
