Saint John Bosco Achievement Centre

The Saint John Bosco Achievement Centre (JBAC) is a program provided in partnership with the Ottawa Catholic School Board and youturn youth support services. Our shared vision is to provide a unique and specialized educational program to justice-involved youth that matches their needs and complexities.
The goal of this program is to reduce youths’ risk of ongoing and future involvement in the justice system by supporting their educational achievement and, subsequently, their vocational interests and success; and increasing their participation in positive and structured activities. These are two areas in which these youth have typically experienced significant struggles.
The program staffing model, supported financially through the Ottawa Catholic School Board and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services, includes one full-time teacher and one full-time youth counsellor. JBAC is affiliated with Immaculata High School.
