Description:
The project will develop culturally relevant Public Legal Education and Information (PLEI) programs for African, Caribbean and Black youth and Indigenous youth living in primarily urban areas in Ontario. OJEN will work with community partners, legal volunteers, as well as with youth themselves to design and pilot a series of PLEI workshops. These workshops will inform racialized youth about their legal rights and how to access information and supports that would assist them in navigating a range of legal issues that span the civil and criminal justice systems. In addition, the project will also identify and provide coaching on legal life-skills that help racialized youth use this information to navigate legal problems.
