Leave Out ViolencE (LOVE) is the leading not for profit youth violence prevention organization in Canada. LOVE helps youth who have lived with violence in their lives, growing together as community leaders of violence prevention.
LOVE is creating a youth led movement against violence by teaching 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.
