Welcome to the YWCA Montreal
Founded in 1875, the YWCA Montreal is a non-profit organization and has been part of the Montreal landscape for more than 130 years. Working with and for women, we offer programs and services that have evolved and developed to reflect changing needs.
Participants, volunteers, and staff come together as a community supporting the growth of women.
Community services, employment and entrepreneurship services, programs to develop leadership skills, a residence and hotel, a volunteer centre – the YWCA is all this and more. It is a place for all women to develop their leadership capacities and their strengths.
