YWCA Toronto is dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls. We help women and girls flee violence, secure housing, find jobs, establish their voices, enhance skills and develop confidence. We offer a range of housing options, employment and training programs, community support programs, girls' programs and family programs; we also engage in systemic advocacy.
YWCA Toronto is a national training center for Life Skills Coaches and the publisher of Life Skills resources. We have been training community leaders, coaches and facilitators in the areas of communication, leadership and problem solving skills since 1973. Life Skills training is particularly beneficial to professionals in social services, education, employment, mental health, youth services and human resources, as well as to consultants and trainers
