6 / 28 Even though Black students make up only 9 percent of the school PLUG board population in Toronto, they represent over 40 percent of Project the suspensions and expulsions. Several factors contribute to this disparity, the major factor being underlying Anti-Black racism.
Rexdale CHC and TAIBU Community Health Centre have worked closely with the Toronto District School Board on PLUG, a program designed to help Black students and their parents address school disciplinary measures, including suspensions and expulsions. The program’s three components are raising community awareness about the Education Act and the rights and responsibilities of parents and students; providing skills and capacity development work for students in school and community settings; and, if necessary, providing timely access to legal information, advice and representation.
With funding from Legal Aid Ontario in 2017, we launched the PLUG pilot, which ran in Rexdale and Scarborough. The pilot’s success led to long-term program funding from Public Safety Canada, as well as support from Legal Aid Ontario to continue facilitating timely access to legal information, advice and representation. With a robust evaluation process led by Dr. Carl E. James, who holds the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora at York University, we hope PLUG can serve as an evidence-based best practice model for addressing the disproportionate disciplinary action directed at Black youth. 7 / 28 Rexdale CHC has partnered with a number of Toronto-based Imara community health centres serving largely Black communities to develop Generation the Imara Generation Project. The project aims to empower 15-20 Black youth across the GTA to lead the design of a Mental Health project Project grounded in Afrocentricity. The youth will serve as the subject matter experts, helping to create a system that will effectively address the barriers Black youth face in accessing mental health support.
Based on the Mental Health First Aid model, Imara Generation’s Afrocentric lens focuses on Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility) and Umoja (unity). The five-year program will initially engage the core group of Black youth in year one to form a steering committee and design and lead the project. In subsequent years, 400 youth will be trained as peer mentors, 20 parents will be engaged to become program champions and the program’s reach will expand to faith-based and community groups.
8 / 28 Building positive pathways to education, employment and training From School for disenfranchised Black youth who experience barriers to success to Success due to systemic racism is the focus of the School to Success Pipeline project. Rexdale CHC has partnered with other CHCs, youth-focused Pipeline Project groups and organizations to develop this project, which will help create a capacity-building model for Black youth to engage with and navigate institutions and support systems.
The project will produce training and capacity-building modules to assist disenfranchised Black youth on their path towards employment and full participation, as well as a strategy and framework for career pathways for this group. It will also support community-based agencies that serve disenfranchised Black youth by building a service delivery model specifically for them, as well as a model for parental support. In addition, it will also work “upstream” to prevent youth disengagement before it happens.
The partners will work with institutions and engage various systems to enhance their understanding of the true barriers facing Black youth and make changes in the areas of access, service delivery and evaluation of service outcome.
9 / 28 The Steps to Excellence Program (STEP+) is centred on the Kingsview Steps to Village–The Westway community in an effort to address the low Excellence educational attainment in this priority neighbourhood. Students in the area’s two public high schools consistently fall far below the Program provincial average on literacy and numeracy tests, while a neighbouring school ranks among the province’s highest performers. A number of challenges reinforce the underperforming schools’ disadvantages and their reputation for poor performance undermines the academic potential of the students, continuing a pattern of underachievement.
STEP+ encompasses academic support, mentoring, youth development, arts, sports and recreation. It improves attitudes toward school and educational goals; increases school attendance; and drives better performance, academic achievement and greater engagement in learning. Through the program, youth have opportunities to practice new skills by participating in hands-on and experiential learning and other enrichment activities beyond academics.
Approximately 100 students whose grades were below 60 percent and who needed additional supports are enrolled in the program. They received an individualized action plan and get the supports necessary to bridge academic gaps and achieve social, academic and personal success. Support is also provided to enhance their engagement in post-secondary education and career exploration. Thanks to STEP+, 70 percent of the students are on track to graduate and 77 percent are 10 / 28 performing at an academic/university level. Rexdale youth experience five percent higher unemployment rates than Rexdale Toronto youth overall and many are not attending high school or moving Collaborative on to post-secondary education. The Rexdale Collaborative for Youth Employment (RCYE), aims to address youth unemployment by building for Youth their transferable skills, confidence and networks through opportunities Employment in sport, physical activity, education, and arts and culture.
A collaborative project with partners from the community, education and government sectors, RCYE is creating a youth council to be an active voice and leader in the collaborative’s strategies and plans. Together, we will develop meaningful youth engagement plans to involve hard-to-reach youth. The result will be more youth with the competence (transferable skills, teamwork, physical fitness) and confidence (resilience and perseverance) to participate in employment, education and training opportunities. RCYE will also increase access and awareness about training, education and employment opportunities for Rexdale youth to improve the connection between work and youth interests so more youth have the right skills to meet employer needs.
Our goal with RCYE is to ensure that by 2025 Rexdale youth have equal access to employment opportunities and that youth unemployment in Rexdale is closer to the City of Toronto youth unemployment rate.
