THE ACHIEVERS PROJECT

PROJECT OVERVIEW

“The Achievers” project is a collaborative prevention/intervention partnership initiative
between San Romanoway Revitalization Association (SRA), the Toronto District
School Board (TDSB), and the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) – funded
through the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

This project addresses the needs of the most “at-risk” students in grades 6, 7 and 8 at Elia
