Our mission is to support vulnerable youth and their families as they navigate the education and the criminal justice systems. Our ultimate aim is to keep vulnerable youth where they belong, in schools, and prevent them from falling through the cracks and winding up in prison.<\/p>\n

The CSMA engages in extensive outreach activities with a goal to understanding the workings of the Ontario education system and the criminal justice system, and how racialized children, youth and parents interact with these two sets of institutions.<\/p>\n

The CSMA advocacy efforts in this sector were prompted by anecdotal observations and media reports of increase in the number of young Somali males coming into contact with the criminal justice system. Through multi-pronged efforts, the CSMA achieved significant milestones.<\/p>\n
