About
the YWCA of Calgary
The YWCA of Calgary works to break the cycles of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty. We believe that healthy women and healthy families lead to a thriving community.
The YWCA is a vital piece of Calgary’s social and economic fabric, serving 11,238 vulnerable women, children and men in 2009 alone.
Our staff and volunteers are committed to social change and work to build a healthy community by building strength and capacity in women.
Our goal is a society where there is no longer a gender gap, and the cycles of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty have been eradicated. To that end, we focus our efforts on the areas of Domestic Violence, Homelessness, Poverty, Children & Families, and Health & Wellness.
Our Mission
To offer programs and services to women and their families, providing them with the skills and opportunities to contribute to and benefit from healthy communities.
Our Vision
A cornerstone for women and their families.
