That's a good question.

The program is offered by urban communities. I imagine that there are innovative programs in Canada being offered by the communities. However, I don't have any specific examples of programs like that. There are a few communities that are very successful with the post-secondary education program, and there are others that are not. It really depends on how the program is implemented, the support given to youth, and the interaction with young children. So there are some specific issues in each community.
