Testimonials
Former participant
« My experiment with women's Y enabled me to meet women inspiring and devoted with the cause of the women. They influenced my personal and professional life and while bringing the necessary tools to me to my return on the job market, in addition to reinforcing my regard of me. They enabled me to note the importance to know our value, socially or professionally. » Linda
Former Volunteer
When I decided to offer my services to the YWCA Montreal as a volunteer, I only knew about the organization by reputation, I didn’t know what services they offered. I met some great people here and learned a lot about myself and others. One of my assignments was Boutique Fringues and right away I felt I was part of the team. I worked on other interesting projects with women equally passionate about their work. Their common goal was clear: “improve the prospects of all women who walk through their door”.
