YW Kitchener-Waterloo is dedicated to improving the lives of women, girls and gender diverse people by providing services and programs that support the holistic individual through physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing, and economic choice and independence.
As a gender-equity advancing organization, we work to build a safe and inclusive environment for all to ensure individuals feel respected, valued and protected. We do this through active leadership, representation and the ongoing application of intersectional and gendered lenses to drive positive change in our community. Our goal is to empower women, girls and gender-diverse community members to choose change.
We stand with the principles of the Ontario Human Rights Code and as such will not tolerate unjust, unfair or unlawful discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, political belief, marital or family status, physical or mental disability, socioeconomic status, gender, sex, sexual orientation or age.
YW Kitchener-Waterloo is committed to fostering an environment free from racism and discrimination. We have zero tolerance for such behaviour within our organization. Individuals who engage in these actions may face serious consequences, including disciplinary measures up to and including termination of employment or removal from programs.
