One of the largest and most diversified non-profit organizations in British Columbia, the YWCA focuses on supporting a person’s path to economic independence, wellness and safety.
Our vision is to achieve women's equality. To achieve this goal we focus on housing, early learning and child care, youth education, mentorship, employment, food programs, support for single moms, violence prevention and advocacy.
Much of our services are offered to women living on low incomes, Indigenous women, newcomer and refugee women, senior women and single mothers and their children. We offer 72 programs in 66 locations across Metro Vancouver, serving thousands of women, children and families.
