The Toronto Police Service's Youth In Policing Initiative (YIPI) is a program jointly created by Ontario's Ministry of Children and Youth Services, the Toronto Police Services Board and the Toronto Police Service. The summer job program looks to improve the relationship between young people in Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods while offering employment and the opportunity for youth to attain and improve teamwork and life skills. == Program background == Created in 2006 following Toronto’s Summer of the Gun, in which 27 people living in and interacting around various inner-city communities were victims of gun violence between June and September 2005,〔Syed, Himy. "Summer of The Gun ." Toronto Wiki. localWiki, 14 2007. Web. Web. 20 Nov. 2012.〕 the Youth in Policing Initiative was one of the programs that received a portion of the $210 million 〔"Toronto's priority neighbourhood programs musn't be abandoned." Toronto Star 16 007 2012, n. pag. Web. 23 Nov. 2012〕 distributed for the creation of community and youth programs in the 13 priority neighborhoods by the governments of Ontario and Toronto.〔Grant, Kelly, and Matthew Robinson. "Toronto 2012: more guns, fewer resources." Globe and Mail. 20 2012: n. page. Web. 22 Nov. 2012.〕 The initiative is a part of the “Summer Jobs for Youth” program created by Ontario’s Ministry of Children and Youth Services provides up to 8 weeks of full-time summer employment for youth in a variety of areas.〔Hoskins, Dr. Eric, and Madeleine Meilleur. Ontario. Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Ontario. Queen, 2012. Web.〕 Beginning in July 2006, the YIPI began with and continues to employ 150 summer students who are required to wear business dress attire to promote a sense of professionalism while on the job during their employment for the months of July and August. Applicants to the program must be legal to work in Canada, between the ages of 14 and 17, returning to school in September and residing in one of the identified priority neighbourhoods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toronto Police Service Youth in Policing Initiative」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
