He/Him
Hi there! My name is Justin Deveau and I am the Program Assistant at the Laing House site in Yarmouth. I joined the team in 2019 after I graduated from NSCC with a diploma in Social Services. Laing House has helped me achieve one of my many goals, which is to provide specific peer support to individuals in need. When I am not at Laing, you can find me at Aidan Mae (a local drop-in center for youth where I volunteer) or you can find me hanging out with my brothers. Coming from a large family, I take pride in the big brother role I provide, and value family immensely. I also enjoy the outdoors, and while I prefer the warmer weather, my two cats seem to really enjoy the snow, so of course we compromise for their enjoyment! I’m easy-going and would describe myself as a homebody. I have lived in Yarmouth my whole life and want to be able to empower the community I grew up in. As I continue to learn and grow, I recognize the importance of peer support and how organizations like Laing House are needed. I’ve always had the passion to help others and I look forward to serving my community.
