LOVE began operating Halifax in January 2000 with one program and 15 youth enrolled. Since then, we have grown to serve over 200 youth every year through 8 programs in Halifax, Sipekne’katik, and Membertou First Nation. We are unique in that every youth enrolled in our programs has access to a Youth Worker and Registered Social Worker 24/7. LOVE youth are intelligent, caring, and full of potential; however, we often meet them at a time in their lives when they are disenfranchised, unhappy, or hurt. LOVE youth are aged 12-18 at intake, and often remain involved in our programs into their twenties. Youth alumni have gone on to be involved with LOVE as camp staff, program staff, and workshop facilitators. Please consider giving to LOVE Nova Scotia so that we can continue to engage youth, build bridges and realize potential.
