It is intended to provide youth with discipline, responsibility, respect, and entertainment in order to help them develop the skills and tools they need to build positive futures for themselves and the communities in which they live. The mission of the CCC is to instill integrity, honesty, professionalism, compassion, accountability, and respect. The program hopes to instill the youth with positive life skills and habits by providing them with mentoring from culturally-sensitive role models. The CCC is designed to be a community-driven and community-owned program. The RCMP provides support for the program through the dedicated CCC Coordinator position and by encouraging local RCMP members to assist with teaching drill to the cadets; however, each community is expected to provide funding for the program, provide an appropriate space, find volunteer community members (including a cadet leader) to lead the program, and determine the specific objectives and activities to ensure that the program meets their community's needs. The program is targeted toward youth aged 10 to 18 years who are attending school full-time. Typically, the cadets meet once a week after to school to practice drill and engage in other activities (e.g., sports, crafts) decided upon by their communities. The purpose of the current evaluation is to provide the RCMP "F" Division with an understanding of the processes, outputs and, where appropriate, measurable outcomes of the CCC program in Saskatchewan. Specifically, six questions guided this evaluation: - What factors facilitate the successful implementation of CCCs? - What support do CCCs require from Aboriginal Policing Services during start-up? - How has the CCC helped build partnerships between the RCMP and Aboriginal communities? - How does participation in the CCC impact the individual outcomes of youth during, and after, their involvement in the program? - How does the presence of a CCC impact a community? - What makes a CCC sustainable?
