Women's Y Foundation
About us
The YWCA Montreal and its Foundation work tirelessly to improve the lives of women and young girls in the Greater Montreal Area.
Your financial support allows the YWCA Montreal to work to offer real solutions:
- Services of psychosocial support, as well as educational and personal development programs, given by women for women that look to the long term and to reintegrate into society
- 4 programs: Housing, Literacy, employability and Youth Leadership
Thanks to the impressive collective effort and contributions from our generous donors, many women regain their confidence and autonomy each year!
