Published purpose

Childhood Connections - Okanagan Family and Childcare Society will implement a five-year direct intervention project, the Strong Roots Initiative. This will address identified criminogenic risk and protective factors facing vulnerable youth in Central Okanagan. The project will target at-risk individuals and will result in positive changes in risk and protective factors among at-risk Youth and ultimately reduce offending among targeted populations. The project will foster community collaboration by establishing referral pathways with schools, law enforcement, and social services to provide coordinated support for youth.
