C.A.S.A. Committee for Anglophone Social Action Inc.

Published purpose

The general objective of the project is to identify and address challenges and barriers faced by at-risk youth aged 12 to 30, including those with repeated contact with the criminal justice system within an Official Language minority community: the English-speaking community of the Gaspé Coast in Québec. To achieve the planned objective, the Committee for Anglophone Social Action (C.A.S.A.) will first complete a needs assessment with youth, families and community stakeholders to better understand youth protective and risk factors as well as service gaps in the community. A youth advisory committee will be formed, empowering young people to co-develop strategies, provide feedback and advocate for their needs. Targeted interventions through a comprehensive wraparound approach will be offered to youth in collaboration with partners.
