Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
The Miami-Dade County Community Action Agency (CAA) Youth Leadership 2000 Project initiative is targeted towards "at-risk" youth throughout Miami-Dade County. The efforts will expose hundreds of youth, many for the first time, to structured activities established to facilitate positive changes in youth who are already being negatively impacted by "risk factors" in our environment. Such an effort compliments programs such as JASS, because at risk youth considering, or who are already engaged in criminal activity, but have not been arrested, may re-think their options, change their attitude and behaviors. CAA Youth Leadership 2000 supports the Prevention Plan's Keeping Bust Component. |
