About Us
September 2003 LOVE began in New York City at the School of the Future with 6 students.
In September 2006, LOVE New York opened its first dedicated youth center where leaders are trained and LOVE youth can meet in a safe environment- one that many of them call a “space where I can always be me.”
In 2009 LOVE was generously funded by The Nicole Schiffman Foundation to create a media and program center called the Nicole Schiffman Center for LOVE youth. Located in midtown Manhattan near Penn Station, it is accessible to youth from many boroughs from the Bronx to Brooklyn to Queens. The Schiffman family experienced a tragedy as the hands of youth violence and have taken on the mission to help end the cycle of youth violence.
