Purpose : Youth retreats will be organized, for both genders but separately, where survival skills in a wilderness environment will be taught. Youth will be engaged in discussions on the negative effects of substance, alcohol and drug abuse, and on taking responsibility for their actions. Youth will use their talents to help build self-esteem and pride in themselves and in their community. The project will build protective factors at the individual, family and community level. Activities will encourage, motivate and assist community members to begin to work together in a cohesive manner. The ultimate goal is to build a stronger support system within the community that is better equipped to handle and prevent the issues such as bullying, abuse (verbal, emotional and physical), and the rising drug and alcohol use.
