The **Portal Youth Outreach Association** provides advocacy and outreach support to youth at risk in the Annapolis Valley. _Our Vision is that the Annapolis Valley would be a place where all youth have a safe, supportive, and loving home._ We work towards that vision by reducing the number of youths experiencing homelessness through a collaborative community approach with other youth serving organizations and making access to services simple, relational, and timely.
