About this service
Real Me works with newcomer youth (12-24) currently involved in gang-related activities, or at risk of becoming involved in those activities. Program staff help youth participants to reach their highest future potential, regardless of their past.
We work with:
Either first-generation immigrants and refugees or first generation Canadians regardless of immigration status;
Youth currently involved in gangs, or at high risk of gang involvement;
Youth voluntarily willing to participate in the program.
Our team uses the High Fidelity Wraparound model. Basically, this means we put the youth participants at the centre and work with each youth to build a team of support people who will help them set and achieve their goals. In this way, families and caregivers are also involved in the program if they wish.
We identify priorities, develop a personalized plan and introduce a support team.
Who can use it?
Newcomer or 1st generation Canadian youth 12-24 at risk of/involved in gang activity
