Project proposal Key Assets Nl

Key Assets has been in operation in the province since 2009 and is affiliated with an international network operated by the Martin James Foundation which provides services to children, youth and families. In this province they offer an array of services from individual and family therapy to residential support for children in care. Currently, with a staff of over 300 they provide services to over 200 young people. The Child and Youth Advocacy Centre (CAYAC) is supported by Key Assets but stands as an independent registered charity with a goal of advocacy of services, public policy, research and professional learning for vulnerable youth. The board is moving toward an interdisciplinary research project that will inform the broader community of the evolving needs of these children and families. This internship will help develop a plan to both design a research model as well as engage various community partners and link them with university faculties and researchers to establish a research cluster.
