PREVENTING YOUTH CRIME THROUGH LEGAL INFORMATION WORKSHOPS

MAVN PROMOTE LEGAL LITERACY

KNOW, UNDERSTAND AND AWARENESS

Since teens, from the age of 12, are subject to the YCJA, MAVN offers workshops to elementary and high school students. Their belief: it is important for young people to have access to crucial information about the law, so that they can be aware of the repercussions of their actions and actions for both victims and the community.

MAVN … FOR EDUCATION AND AWARENESS.

MAVN is the alternative justice organization in the Laurentians that applies the extrajudicial and judicial sanctions provided for under the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) from 12 to 17 years old. The BEHAVE service aims to educate, aware and inform adolescents about their rights, duties and obligations under this Act.

With all the questions, they remained engaged throughout the workshop, and the real-world examples kept them interested. I hope they’ll be back again next year.[/testimonialitem][/cq_vc_testimoniallist]

For the 2021-2022 school year, we received financial support from the City of Saint-Jérôme Community Support Fund, which offered 50 free school-based workshops in addition to a grant from the Laurentian CISSS community through the Argenteuil Youth Table, which allowed the presentation of the free 35-class workshop in the MRC d’Argenteuil.

You can already reserve your class for the year 2021-2022 to take advantage of these workshops at a cost of $ 85 each. For schools of the Centre de services scolaire des Hautes-Laurentides, contact Marc-André Roy.

The workshops are flexible according to your needs. If a particular event has occurred in your school, MAVN is able to modify and adapt the topic of the workshop accordingly.
