YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF GREATER TORONTO

YWCA Toronto provides housing, employment support, and counseling services to women and families experiencing poverty and homelessness across the Greater Toronto Area. The organization operates multiple shelters and transitional housing programs while offering job training, mental health services, and legal aid to help residents stabilize their lives. YWCA Toronto also runs community centers that provide childcare, recreation, and educational programming to low-income families. Through direct support and advocacy, the organization works to address systemic barriers that disproportionately affect women and racialized communities in Toronto. The YWCA serves thousands of people annually, from emergency shelter residents to those rebuilding their independence through long-term housing and employment initiatives.
