YWCA Calgary

YW Calgary focuses on enhancing women’s safety and well-being while advocating for equity. We provide crisis and transitional shelter, counselling, parenting supports, childcare, language and employment programs that help move women from crisis to stability.

For more than a century, we have touched tens of thousands of lives and have continually evolved our programming to meet the changing needs of women in the community.

LAST YEAR WE:

- Impact over 8,000 individuals through direct program delivery across our three focus areas of mental health, domestic violence, and economic prosperity.
- Estimate that our work impacts an additional 18,000 individuals every year. For every individual who accesses our programming, we believe that there is an indirect impact on at least three other individuals in that person’s life.
- Know that we are having a positive impact. Over 95% of participants surveyed said they were feeling hopeful about the future after being involved with YW programming.

Donations of any amount make an impact and enable us to provide vulnerable women and their families with support, when and where they need it most. The success of the women and families supported by YW are your success too. We cannot do this alone. Only together can we empower change.
