Evaluation of the Youth Justice Initiative Funding Components: Youth Justice Fund

(français au verso)

The Department of Justice Canada has contracted XXX., an independent research firm, to evaluate the Youth Justice Initiative funding components, including the Youth Justice Fund.

The purpose of the evaluation is to examine the relevance, program design and implementation, success, and cost effectiveness of the Youth Justice Initiative and Youth Justice Fund.

The views of stakeholders in the youth justice system are very important to the evaluation.

We would greatly appreciate it if a member of your organization, who was or is involved with the project identified in the cover letter that received funding from the Youth Justice Fund, would take the time to complete this survey.

All of your responses will remain confidential to XXX and the Department of Justice Evaluation Division, and will be reported only in aggregate. The administrative number appearing on the last page of this survey is to enable XXX to manage the survey process.

If you have any questions about the survey, please telephone XXX toll-free at XXX.
