ABOUT THE YWCA
This year, YWCA Metro Vancouver marks 125 years of serving our community.

We recognize that Canada was founded through colonialist and racist policies, and the YWCA was established and operated during this time.

We also recognize that these legacies exist in our present time and are committed to actively decolonizing our policies, programs and practices.

Our vision:
We boldly envision a just and equitable world for women, families and allies

Our mission:

We advance gender equity alongside women, families, Two-Spirit and gender diverse people through advocacy and integrated services that help support personal, collective and economic wellbeing.

This is an exciting time for the YWCA. Join us and be part of a passionate, dedicated and impactful team
