Leave Out ViolencE
(LOVE) is the leading not for profit youth violence prevention organization in
Canada. LOVE helps youth who have lived with violence end violence in their
lives, and then become community leaders of violence prevention.
LOVE is creating a youth led movement against violence by teaching credible
youth how to use their voice and become champions against violence. Since LOVE
began in 1993, these young leaders have reached hundreds of thousands of
children, youth and adults reducing violence in schools, neighbourhoods and
homes.
Through specialized programs, youth develop the skills and motivation to help
break the cycle of violence. LOVE is led by youth for youth. LOVE's leaders are
comprised of youth who best understand violence, as they have been personally
challenged by: gangs, weapons, domestic violence, racism, drugs and bullying.
Giving young people a sense of purpose and a voice empowers them to take a stand
against the violence that has penetrated our communities.
LOVE is ending violence and improving the quality of life for Canadians.
