We have been making a positive difference by promoting a strong presence of women, by improving economic situations for individuals, by equipping individuals to make informed choices, and by making Thompson a safe community for women and children.The YWCA of Thompson is a registered non-profit charitable organization first incorporated in 1970 as a medical receiving home for northern women and children. In the 1980s, in response to a growing need, we began offering education and life skills training for adults re-entering the workforce. We continued to offer short-term residence for women and children. In 2007, we revised our policy to allow men the opportunity to find shelter within its residence.Today, our Residence/Hostel provides both daily and long-term accommodations to those who require safe housing and hostel living. We continue to offer programs for both men and women, to expand their education and life skills training.
