MPP Dipika Damerla Press Release

Providing More Supports for Young People in Mississauga to Succeed

McGuinty Government Building Stronger Neighbourhoods through Youth Action Plan

MPP Dipika Damerla is pleased to announce that Ontario is adding the equivalent of 4.5 full time youth outreach workers positions to help guide young people in making choices that will help them lead full and productive lives. 

Through Ontario’s Youth Action Plan, the additional youth outreach workers will provide one-on-one support to youth and help to connect them with the right support services in their communities.

Youth outreach workers prevent and intervene in negative behaviour, promote civic participation and develop social and leadership skills. To ensure that young people receive the best possible supports and mentorship, all youth outreach workers will be trained in a common set of skills.

Expanding the Youth Outreach Worker program is part of the McGuinty government's province wide Youth Action Plan, which is getting guns and gangs off the streets, providing positive alternatives for youth and ensuring safer communities and neighbourhoods for all Ontarians.

QUOTES

”The announcement of these new youth outreach workers is terrific news for Peel region.  At-risk youth need positive guidance and mentorship to keep them on track.  I am looking forward to these youth workers coming on board here in Mississauga.”

— Dipika Damerla, MPP for Mississauga East-Cooksville

“Youth outreach workers share life experiences with the young people they serve and are sensitive to the issues they face so that they can provide our kids with the best possible mentorship.  We want our youth outreach workers to have maximum impact on the lives of the young people they serve, so we will be targeting these new outreach workers to better reach under-served communities.”

    — Dr. Eric Hoskins, Minister of Children and Youth Services

“As youth outreach workers, we strive to be positive role models and empower youth to draw on supports and opportunities that exist in their community. It is rewarding to see how youth in under-served communities become engaged citizens.” 

— Likwa Nkala, Lead for the East Quadrant Youth Outreach Worker Team

QUICK FACTS

• There are currently 62 youth outreach workers providing outreach and referral services to disadvantaged youth in seven communities, growing to 97 in nine communities.
• The government will begin accepting applications to fill the additional youth outreach worker positions — with a focus on agencies operating in under-served communities — in the coming weeks.

·       The overall youth crime rate in Ontario is 23 per cent lower than in 2000. The youth violent crime rate is also down by 17 per cent over the same period, better than the national rate, which dropped 10 per cent.

• Ontario’s Youth Action Plan will benefit an additional 13,000 young people each year by moving forward on 20 initiatives, including expanding the Youth Outreach Worker program.

·       Ontario recently expanded Parenting and Family Literacy Centres across the province. The centres help children up to six years of age build essential literacy, numeracy and social skills through stories, music and play.

• Ontario is investing over $20 million in new funding to support the Youth Action Plan — efficiencies and savings were found to fully offset the cost of expanded and new programs.
