How We Help

Justice Involvement

For the young person who’s had contact with law enforcement, courts or corrections and is ready for a different path.

Our programs support accountability, growth, and positive outcomes for youth involved in the justice system.

Volunteer-led committees work with young people, their families, victims, and the community to designed to help the young person take accountability for their actions and have opportunities for growth.  

We reach young people in our Province who are struggling to use their natural leadership ability in beneficial ways or believe in their potential. Where others might see deficits and risk, we see strengths and possibility. Our strength-based, leadership curriculum encourages young people to transform their views of themselves, their communities and their futures.
