Program Goals:

The intent of the program is to guide

youth to a better understanding on
how their behaviour affects others
within the community, and to make
amends by giving back to the
community in a meaningful way.
Youth involved in the program will gain
a new insight into the cause and
effects of their behaviour. In addition,
the program may help youth to
develop new skills and interests, and to
seek out new training and career
opportunities being offered within the
community.
Through our program the CYIW will be
encouraging the youth involved to
continue with their education, increase
their participation in Addictions and
Mental Health and Wellness
Counselling sessions provided within
the community, including life skills and
to increase participation in health,
cultural, and recreational projects.

About Us:
The Community Youth Intervention
Initiative (CYIW) works with youth
between the ages of 15-21 in conflict
with the law. The Community Youth
Intervention Worker works closely
with probation officers, and operates
as a linkage between youth and
probation officers. The CYIW also
works with community members
including the leadership and the
community Education Authority.
The CYIW plays an important role in
the development of a local program
and provides support and assistance
to reintegrate youth back into the
community - in a positive and
meaningful way. The role of the
CIYW is to meet regularly with
clients, and help build their selfesteem while promoting a healthy
life style for the youth involved.
