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.
