Purpose : The Touchwood Community Cadet Corps program will target 100 Aboriginal youth at risk, both male and female, aged 10-15, living on reserve in South Central Saskatchewan. This project will provide a positive alternative to substance abuse, gang involvement, and other delinquent behaviours by encouraging the development of positive lifestyle habits through structured activities. The Touchwood Cadet Corps has typically involved drill and marching activities, and will be enhanced by life-skills training, cultural components rooted in beliefs and values of the local community, community leadership and involvement, and pro-social recreational activities. This project will assist youth to achieve better academic outcomes, and reduce the delinquency and social predictors of risk.
