CavUnity was founded with one goal in mind: engaging youth in volunteerism.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
From a lunch club to a youth movement across HRM.
CavUnity was started in January 2024 by two students at Cole Harbour District High School.
We continue to be dedicated to serving our community through:
✔ Volunteerism
✔ Hosting Events
✔ Fundraising
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Did you know that most high school students don't know the difference between municipal, provinical and federal politics?
Part of CavUnity's mission to educate youth includes political engagement.
CavUnity recently partnered with Lorelei Nicoll, MLA for Cole Harbour-Dartmouth, to host a field trip to province house and city hall.
Students in attendance even had the opportunity to meet and engage with mayor Mike Savage in a Q&A session.
WE SUPPORT THE IWK
CavUnity is a proud fundraising partner of the IWK Foundation.
At the end of the 2023-24 school year, CavUnity donated $600 to the IWK Foundation, which was raised through a raffle and community events - now, all CavUnity clubs are required to support the IWK.

As someone who dedicated many years to volunteerism in our community, I
am honoured to provide support to the students of Cole Harbour District
High School as they initiate CavUnity, a not-for-profit which will
provide a means to give back to their community through altruism with
the desire to enrich the lives of residents in our various neighbourhoods.
I look forward to working with CavUnity on community projects and I
encourage community businesses and members to get involved and assist in
anyway possible.
