"The community is the context in which families raise their children. Families of all socioeconomic levels, all cultures and races, in all neighborhoods must recognize the powerful influence of the community on the development of young people. The community context can increase the risks in young people's lives, or working hand in hand with families schools and youth-serving organizations, can help create a web of protection for youth."
CTC Prevention Strategies: A Research Guide to What Works, 2000.

Join one of our Workgroups

We are always looking for community members with time and enthusiasm to help us get things done by joining one of our work groups.

For example, the Data Collection Work Group when active gathers community-level data on problem adolescent behaviors (substance abuse, suicide, delinquency, violence, teen pregnancy, and dropping out of school) and on the amount of risk and protection for the behaviors that exist in Squamish. The workgroup then works together to analyse that data, and to prioritise a list of risk and protective factors that it recommends be targeted in the Community Action Plan.
