Services offered

Are you looking for a great partner to support your school with the youth challenges you face?

The YWCA Montreal offers you projects to help you address gender equality with young people in different contexts with an intersectional and caring approach.

Every year, we offer workshops, services, and intervention tools to meet the needs of young people of diverse backgrounds. Whether in the context of direct interventions, content development or support services, our dynamic team is ready to put its expertise at the service of your community.

 

Learn more about the subjects we can discuss with your students, as part of the regular curriculum or as a complement:

PROMOTION OF GLOBAL HEALTH AND SEXUALITY EDUCATION

We invite young people to take charge of their own global health and adopt a healthy lifestyle. As part of our workshops, students will learn more about the different dimensions of health.

Our educational activities will allow them to make informed choices regarding their relationships and their sexuality. Our programs explore themes such as peer pressure, nuances of consent and sexual consent, signs of a healthy or unhealthy relationship and many other issues related to young people’s sexuality.

We can also help you address sensitive topics such as sexual violence and, more specifically, sexual exploitation providing prevention tools to increase awareness and prepare young people to identify and avoid risks.

ACGC AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

In order to build a more equal future for young people, we encourage them to identify the effects of gender stereotypes on their career choices. Nowadays, we still notice a strong segregation based on gender as much in post-secondary educational choices as in the labor market. For example, 90% of women are working in just 300 types of jobs!

​​To help building a more egalitarian employment ecosystem for all people, we offer worshops encouraging more diversified career choices. We have also created the website Un métier à mon image (only available in French for the moment) to help young people explore different professional possibilities. This platform offers a large repertoire of tools, training, videos, activities and references to promote a non-gendered approach on educational and vocational guidance.

Our Academic and Career Guidance Content (ACGC) workshops also focus on entrepreneurship, allowing young people to deconstruct myths about this profession option. We aim to encourage them to identify their strengths and bring their ideas to life.
