Goals
- To expand our YOUCAN™ training to more prisons, helping more youth.
- To promote in prisons, the peaceful resolution of conflicts
- To measure change of training participants attitudes and behaviours
Overview
Prison is one place that we at YOUCAN feel young people should be given a chance to better themselves before returning back to their community.
An inmate can come to the YOUCAN™ “inside the walls” project with little to no skills in healthy conflict resolution. With the support of program facilitators, participants receive formal instruction through a series of trainings in peacebuilding concepts, to empower them to bring forward their “Best Self”.
While in prison it is important that we as Canadians recognize the need to continue to support our youth who are behind bars. This project helps inmates to take a closer look at their responsibility to the crimes they have committed, while understanding their greater role as valuable Canadian citizens.
YOUCAN is committed to success with our results. Our project is focussed on helping inmates develop the skills they need to resolve conflict and demonstrate changed attitudes and behaviours towards violence.
