Congratulations to Nadine Lavia!
31 Division is proud to recognize Nadine Lavia as a recipient of the 31 Division Toronto Police Service Community Champion Award.
Nadine is a Counsellor and Family Support Worker with RCIY — Reclaiming Our Communities, Investing in Youth, a project dedicated to encouraging Black and racialized youth ages 12–29 to feel valued, empowered and supported in taking the lead in reclaiming their community.
Through her work, Nadine provides direct support to youth, families and the wider Jane-Finch community, responding to the unique needs of those she serves.
Her impact can be seen in so many meaningful ways — from providing lunches to students so they can stay focused in school, to arranging barber services that help community members feel confident, to organizing clothing pop-ups that provide professional attire for those preparing to enter the workforce.
Nadine also helps create opportunities for youth through employment initiatives that connect young people with job opportunities and help them build strong resumes and the skills needed to set themselves up for success.
What makes Nadine truly special is her genuine commitment to helping others. She gives so much of herself to the community without expecting anything in return.
31 Division is truly blessed to work alongside community champions like Nadine, whose compassion, generosity and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of so many people.
Congratulations, Nadine, and thank you for everything you do for our youth, families and community!
Together, we are building stronger and safer communities.
