Creating brighter futures for women & families
Equality, opportunity, choice
As part of the oldest and largest women’s social service organization in Canada, the YWCA Edmonton has been serving the capital region since its founding in 1907. We are a women’s organization that advances the wellness and growth of women, girls, and families.
“The YWCA is the reason I’m alive today. When I first walked into the Counselling Centre, I had run out of reasons to live. I had no money to afford help.
I was lucky to find the YWCA.”
Real Impact
Since founding in 1907, YWCA Edmonton has grown and evolved with Edmontonians, responding to the ever-changing issues and needs of a growing population.
Today, we’re proud to support 8,000 women and families through counselling, leadership programs, outdoor education, and disability services.
85% of Counselling Services clients have a better understanding of the issues they face and how to cope with them.
