Impact Statement
For over 100 years, the YW has created a safe environment for women, youth and children to learn and grow. We provide a platform for their voices and help them take confident steps towards a brighter future. Whether that’s providing emergency shelter, affordable and supportive housing, quality childcare at one of our childcare centres or school age programs, or hands-on training for youth and women at our employment programs, we help people move forward with dignity and respect. We care about our community and work to make it stronger.
Are you a feminist who is passionate about improving the lives of women and children in our region? The YW-KW is looking for someone with experience in leading a governance board to become the next President of our Board of Directors.
The YW is led by an all-women Board of Directors. These strong leaders ensure that women’s voices are heard in the community and that our services reflect the needs of women today.
