LOVE’s programs are designed to help youth overcome the challenge of violence in their lives and develop the skills to become local leaders against violence. LOVE volunteers learn to use their personal experiences with gangs, drugs, weapons, racism, bullying, domestic violence and self-harm to help other youth make positive choices and together build safer communities.

BC’s chapter of LOVE is run out of the Broadway Youth Resource Centre. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact them at the number above.
