What is AT-CURA?

Acting Together (AT) is a federally funded project aiming to identify factors that protect youth from gang involvement and to support community resilience-promoting initiatives. The project, led by Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Surrey, B.C., Canada has brought together 12 community partner organizations and nine academic researchers from four post-secondary institutions.

The Quote Box

"AT-CURA is a unique project that should be extremely valuable to the South Asian community. CURA's focus on hands-on research relating to youth in the Metro Vancouver area is quite unprecedented.

It will go a long way in helping our youth become productive and proud citizens of the community, this province and, ultimately, of Canada."
