inREACH (2009-2013)
Street Gang Prevention
inREACH,a federally-funded youth street gang prevention program, operated in Waterloo Region from 2009-2013.
The inREACH program assisted youth between the ages of 13-24 and provided supports in the area of mental health, substance use, education, employment and family support. Interventions at a neighbourhood level also provided mentorship programs and recreation supports as alternatives for youth-at-risk of being involved in gangs.
