Delivering Education and Awareness for Life
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's National Youth Strategy has evolved considerably from the original basic goals of reducing youth crime and victimization. One of the strategy's initiatives, deal.org (Delivering Education and Awareness for Life), has grown well beyond its original focus, when it was created in 1998, of fostering drug awareness among Canadian youth. It has evolved into a comprehensive Internet resource, including pages for parents and teachers. Deal.org aims to empower youth by providing an interactive forum to communicate, research and express ideas. Young people from across Canada and around the world can connect to one another, tell the world what they're doing and get involved in their own communities. The French version of deal.org is choix.org.
